Please Note: The University telephone system continues to experience intermittent call service. ITS has been working diligently with Telecom and Network Engineers to resolve the issue. If you are unable to contact the University Department of Public Safety using the campus phone system, please instead dial 203.255.2400, or contact Public Safety via the LiveSafe App. In an emergency you may dial 911 directly.
Come see for yourself. Reconnect. Enjoy. Network.
Alumni & Family Weekend is a Fairfield tradition that offers a variety of fun activities and special events for students, alumni, and families alike for one weekend every fall. Alumni will enjoy mini-reunions with friends and classmates, and get to see first-hand what’s new on campus. Parents and families will be on hand to see how their sons and daughters are doing after a couple of months away at college. Friends are sure to enjoy all Fairfield has to offer during this can’t-miss weekend.Alumni & Family Weekend Guide
Alumni & Family Weekend Guide is now live on the Fairfield University App In an effort to go paperless, in place of a printed schedule, we have created the Fairfield University Application. The app is available for all smartphones including iPhone and Android devices for free. The Alumni & Family Weekend Guide will allow you to access the event schedule, ticket info, and university resources.
We ask that you take the time to download the app before arriving on campus for the weekend.
