The Orientation theme, “Connect, Inspire, Thrive” reflects the vision the First-Year Experience Team has for the Class of 2026. During the first year, our goal is to connect students with each other, faculty, staff, and the University; to inspire excellence; and for students to thrive holistically at Fairfield University. Begin to share your passions and who you are with the people around you, motivate each other to try new things, and together excel in each aspect of the Fairfield University experience. The song selected for your class is “Hold My Hand” by Jess Glynne. The theme and song combined remind students that you’re embarking on a beautiful new experience together. Everyone is here to support one another while you look forward to a bright new future. “When you’re next to me...I’m not afraid to be!”

WELCOME TO FAIRFIELD! Well, here we are, first-year students at Fairfield University and we’re ready for this, there’s no denying! There are so many new things for us to explore, we need you all in! With so much uncertainty, it may seem as if you’re running round a cold and empty space, but we’ve got our new classmates, our NSLs, and the amazing faculty and staff around us and we don’t have to walk on (our) own anymore! We’re Stags joining the herd! Class of 2026! We’re ready for this, so darling, hold my hand!

DEAR CLASS OF 2026, Welcome to this community of Stags. We are thrilled you are here! Right now, you might be feeling a mix of emotions ranging from excitement, hope, and purpose, to anxiety, loneliness, and uncertainty. We want you to know that these feelings are normal—this is the first day of what will potentially become one of the most impactful experiences of your life. Each one of you was accepted to Fairfield for your talents, abilities, potential, and the unique story that brings you here today. It is important that you know you are meant to be here, on this campus, at Fairfield University right now. We like to say that the next couple of months will feel like four years, but the next four years will feel like they are over in a couple of months. We hope you are ready, but if you don’t feel ready, that is okay. We are going to do this together. While you are here at orientation, you are going to meet so many people, and each one of them wants to help you succeed. If you need anything, look for us in the black polos. Our purpose is to support you, and we are so excited to do it. Your faculty wants you to be inspired and excited to learn, so when you meet with them, ask questions! You will make new friends and share new experiences, you will be pushed out of your comfort zone, you will hear from new perspectives, and you will feel a sense of support and community that you have never felt before. You are going to learn. A lot. You will learn about yourself and those around you. There are so many opportunities waiting for you to take advantage of them. So, what’s our advice to you? Don’t be shy. Be bold. Be willing to step out of and ultimately expand your comfort zone. Talk to the new faces around you when you get the opportunities to do so. Listen to others. Really, actually, fully, actively listen. If you need help, ask for it—chances are someone else has the same question. Oh, and Stags? Don’t forget to take a moment to look back and be proud of yourself for getting here. Then, take a deep breath and look forward to what is sure to be an amazing four years. With all the love and excitement, The New Student Leaders of Team 26

Fairfield University requires that all full-time undergraduate students maintain or purchase a Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant health insurance policy from a U.S. based provider. Under Fairfield’s “hard waiver” program, full-time undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in, and billed for, this policy each July for the upcoming academic year. Again, this is an annual process, and the waiver must be filed for each year coverage is not wanted. If a student has access to comparable or better health insurance through other means (e.g. parents’ coverage), and does not wish to be enrolled in the University sponsored plan, the student must complete the online waiver and provide proof of coverage. Once the online waiver is completed and reviewed, a full credit for the cost of the policy will appear on the student’s bill. To view the details of the University-sponsored health insurance policy, please visit www.gallagherstudent.com/fairfield. Students from outside Connecticut who carry HMO or network-based coverage are strongly encouraged to purchase the Fairfield University sponsored plan.
