Opportunities for Students to Participate in Supporting Fairfield

There are myriad ways students may participate in the University’s efforts to generate support from alumni and friends.

Students at any stage of their time on campus may participate in the Student Phonathon or in the Student Alumni Association. Seniors are invited to participate in the Senior Class Gift.

Each year, Fairfield students call thousands of alumni and parents, who relish the opportunity to speak directly with current undergraduates and graduate students to hear about their individual experiences and aspirations, and to learn about updates from campus.

Your time spent making these phone calls directly supports The Fairfield Fund.

Questions? Contact Marissa Fitzgerald, Associate Director, Young Alumni and Student Philanthropy marissa.fitzgerald@fairfield.edu.

Students are invited to participate in the University’s Student Alumni Association.

The Student Alumni Association is the student organization of the Fairfield University Alumni Association. The SAA’s mission, through its student leaders, is to establish a life-long bond between current students and their future alma mater through networking, service, and philanthropy. We aim to show that even though you graduate, your ties to Fairfield last a lifetime.

Senior Class Gift

The Senior Class Gift was created as a way for the graduating class to say Thank You to the school as they prepare to depart campus and make the transition from student to alumnus.

Your Senior Class Gift is more than a donation- it is a rite of passage that helps our University and future Stags for years to come. Individually, it is your chance to support what you love about your alma mater and directly contribute to the experience of the students that will follow in your footsteps. Collectively, it is the opportunity for your class, as a group, to make history through its impact, joining each class that has come before you.

To the members of the Class of 2025,

Below you will find different giving levels available, along with information about your Class Goal and the progress towards reaching it, and how your giving is invested here on campus.

We invite you to stay informed about the senior class events listed below, attendance at which may count towards your class gift.

Lastly, in addition to opportunities to give, the University invites you to consider becoming a Senior Gift Marshall, a role that carries the responsibility of serving as a liaison between the Office of Annual Giving and your class.

Senior Gift Marshalls educate friends and classmates about the importance of making a gift, encourage them to do so, and inform classmates about upcoming Senior Class Gift events.
