As we prepare to celebrate the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1973, we remember in a special way the members of our class who have gone before us...

Eternal rest grant to them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May these and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Registration is now open through the online community. Please plan to register as early as possible, as on-campus housing and the Saturday evening dinner dance may sell out and walk-in/day-of registrations cannot be guaranteed. The deadline for housing registration will be 5 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 1 and the deadline for online registration for all remaining events will be Noon EDT on Wednesday, June 7.

Reunion 2023 pricing is outlined below, with early bird prices available for select events through 5 p.m. EDT on March 15. Please note that there is a $10 registration fee, which is charged per overall registration, not for each person included on the registration. This helps to offset other expenses for Reunion Weekend not covered by the ticket prices below. Every effort has been made to keep ticket prices as affordable as possible, while still providing the type of memorable Reunion Weekend for which Fairfield is known!

Friday Night Welcome Dinner: $50 per person (includes open bar, full buffet dinner and dessert)

"Golden Stags" Induction Luncheon & Ceremony: $35 per person (includes 3-course plated meal and champagne toast)

Bellarmine Dinner Dance: $75-100 based on date. See below chart.

No tickets will be distributed prior to Reunion Weekend. You will pick up all your event materials upon arrival on campus on Friday or Saturday. If you have questions regarding your registration, call the Office of Alumni Relations at 203-254-4280.

A $5 gift to Fairfield is included in your Reunion Weekend registration! If you wish to increase your gift, you can do so atthe time of regsitration. If you have already made your gift in this fiscal year (July 1, 2022 until June 30, 2023), your gift will count towards your class's goal/your Reunion gift.

Additionally, many alumni celebrating their 50th have commemorated this milestone by considering gifts through their estate plan, whether through retirement assets, real estate and other non-cash assets, gifts that pay you income, and more. To find out more, please contact Emma Penick, MBA, AEP®, CAP®, Senior Director of Planned Giving at epenick@fairfield.edu or by calling 203-254-4020.

The list of registered guests can be viewed on the online registration site. It updates in real-time, so check back often for the most up-to-date list of classmates registered to attend.

The Class of 1973 will be treated to an exclusive Welcome Back Dinner on Friday, June 9 and their long-awaited Golden Stags Induction Ceremony & Luncheon with President Nemec, PhD on Saturday, June 10. All classes will come together for the Reunion Weekend Mass and the Dinner Dance on Bellarmine Lawn on Saturday evening. For a full schedule, scroll up on this page.

There is no assigned seating for this event. Tables in the tent on Bellarmine Lawn are in sections by class and consist of 10 seats per table.

Refunds will be issued only for cancellations made by 5 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 1, 2023. After this date we will have given counts and guarantees to our vendors and we cannot accommodate refunds.

You are certainly able and encouraged to bring a spouse/guest to Reunion! Please enter guest(s) information on your registration form and select the event(s) they are accompanying you to!

Great question! It is likely that either we do not have an updated email address on file for you. Please send your updated contact information to alumni@fairfield.edu. There is also a chance that you have accidentally unsubscribed from our outreach. Upon receiving your email with your new information, we will check your status and contact you if more action is needed. For questions, please call the Office of Alumni Relations at 203-254-4280.

A limited amount of on-campus housing is available on campus for 50th Reunion attendees. Housing will be in suite-style accommodations. Please indicate your desired roommate on your registration form. Please be sure to buy a housing package for both you and your guest.

There is a place on your registration form to indicate two additional roommates (suitemates) if desired. Please note: we can only guarantee your direct roommate.

Rooms are only available for alumni and guests participating in the Friday and/or Saturday Reunion activities. Room-only reservations will not be accepted for either day. Anyone staying on campus on Friday night needs to purchase a ticket for either a Friday Welcome Dinner or the Golden Stags Induction Luncheon. Anyone staying on campus on Saturday night needs to purchase a ticket to the Saturday evening dinner dance. If you submit a housing registration without the accompanying tickets, you will be contacted to either purchase tickets or cancel your housing reservation.

Please note: Due to ongoing campus construction projects, the dorms/buildings used for Reunion housing accommodations can be changed at any time. We will do our best to notify you of such changes prior to your arrival.

When packing to stay on campus, please remember that campus housing contains only the basics. Lightweight linens, towels, blankets, and pillows will be provided. You may want to bring along hangers, extra pillows and blankets, and extra towels. Fans are also recommended, particularly for those staying in a residence hall that is not air conditioned.

Yes! A block of rooms has been reserved at the following hotels:

Trumbull Marriott Shelton (180 Hawley Lane, Trumbull, CT)
Rate: $145 per night for a king or double bed room.
Room rate is available Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 11. Rate expires May 19, 2023 or when full. Space is limited.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Stratford (6905 Main Street, Stratford, CT)
Rate: $169-189 per night for a queen studio suite or king 1-bedroom suite
Room rate is available Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 11. Rate expires May 9, 2023 or when full.
Space is limited.

We are happy to modify all activities during Reunion Weekend to the best of our ability to accommodate anyone with physical and/or dietary special needs with advanced notice. Please inform the Alumni Relations staff of any special needs prior to your arrival by indicating them on your registration form online or by calling the Office of Alumni Relations at (203) 254-4280 to speak with someone directly. You may also contact Colleen McGinn, Director of Alumni Engagement at cmcginn@fairfield.edu.

Dress code for the Friday evening welcome dinner is casual. In the past, attendees have preferred to wear a suit jacket to the Golden Stags Induction Ceremony and Luncheon on Saturday however this is not required.

Dress code for Reunion Mass and the Saturday evening Dinner Dance is as follows:
Springtime evening cocktail/"summer wedding" attire is recommended. As it can get cool at night, we recommend a jacket, sweater, or wrap and moderate heels or flats that are easy to walk in on grass.

The RecPlex will have limited hours of operation during the summer. Exact hours will be shared closer to Reunion Weekend.

Alumni who wish to use the RecPlex facilities during business hours on Reunion Weekend will need to check in at the front desk and sign a waiver. You may download and print it in advance via the link below, or copies will be available on site. If you wish to shower in the facility, please bring your own towels, toiletries, and shower shoes.

Yes! Consider joining your Class of 1973 Facebook Group to reconnect with your classmates before the big weekend!

Yes! You take a walk down memory lane and flip through the 1973 Manor yearbook made available by our library special archives!

COVID-19

Fairfield University strongly encourages all members of the campus community to be vaccinated and boosted, if eligible. For the latest information regarding Fairfield's COVID-19 policies and response, visit fairfield.edu/healthyu.

Children

Children and grandchildren are welcome at the Taste of Fairfield and other daytime activities on Saturday. Please be sure to include children’s names in your registration. Children are not permitted at the Friday night receptions or Saturday evening dinner dance. Due to limited space, we are unable to provide overnight on-campus accommodations for children.

Smoking and Drug Policy

As of January 1, 2018, Fairfield University is designated as a smoke-free, tobacco-free environment. The use of tobacco and tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, dipping tobacco or snuff, and electronic cigarettes on campus is prohibited. In addition, all illegal substances are prohibited on campus. Anyone found in violation of this policy will be dealt with appropriately by the Department of Public Safety and the Fairfield Police Department.

On-Campus Payment Methods

Walk-in registrations for event tickets and housing (when available) may be paid for via cash or credit card. Drink tickets for the Friday night reception at the DSB, as well as for the Bellarmine Dinner Dance on Saturday, are CASH ONLY. Cash is also recommended for the purchase of additional food vouchers at the Taste of Fairfield, as credit card purchases will need to be processed inside the Kelley Center at the registration desk. There is a Bank of America ATM located on the Second Floor of the Barone Campus Center as well as in the Dolan School of Business near Starbucks for your convenience.
