Class of 1975 50th Reunion

Save the Date

June 6-8, 2025

Class of 1975! 2025 is your year to mark this long-awaited milestone in your Fairfield journey — your 50th Reunion! This year, over 100 members of the Class of 1974 returned home to campus to celebrate their Reunion — a new attendance record! Mark your calendar now for a weekend you won't want to miss!

After having to postpone your 45th Reunion festivities in 2020 in favor of a scaled-down celebration the following year, we’re excited to offer you the full-scale 50th Reunion that our alumni have come to know and love. 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 this fall. We look forward to welcoming you home next year!

Tentative 50th Reunion Schedule

As we prepare to celebrate the 50^th 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.

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.

Sure! Photo galleries from prior 50th Reunion Weekends are available on Flickr. Take a look at all the fun you’ll be having in May.
