In June of 2024...
over 100 members of the Class of 1974 returned home to campus to celebrate their Reunion — a new attendance record! Can you beat that? Mark your calendar for a weekend you won't want to miss!

We can’t wait for a whole new set of memories to be made as you reconnect with each other and with Fairfield as you celebrate this “Reunion of a Lifetime!”
Stay tuned for more information coming over the next few months. We look forward to welcoming you home!

As we prepare to celebrate the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1975, 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.
