WELCOME TO FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY 1 SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 DAYTIME SCHEDULE Welcome and congratulations on the start of an exciting new chapter in your lives. The Orientation Team has carefully organized the next two days with activities and experiences to make sure that you receive the resources to thrive at Fairfield. As you embark on your Jesuit education, take some time over the next two days to reflect on the multiple communities you are now a part of your FYE group, your cornerstone class, your residential or commuting community, and the cohort of students starting at Fairfield today. Engage and connect within these communities with the spirit of love and care for each other. Highlights of Fall Welcome include hearing from our new president, Dr. Mark Nemec, meeting our Jesuits, interacting with resident assistants, commuter peer assistants and new student leaders, gaining a deeper understanding of what it means when Stags step up for each other, feeling school spirit at Once a Stag, Always a Stag, and finding your way around campus. This is the time to start taking ownership of your Fairfield experience, and we are here to help you make the most of it. Go Stags!
