LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to Fairfield University!

I am pleased that you have chosen to spend the day with us at Fairfield in Focus, our open house for admitted students.

Whether this is the first time you have had the opportunity to visit campus, or you are back to learn more, I am certain you will find something exciting to discover.

Our faculty, administrators and students are eager to introduce you to all that makes Fairfield an exceptional community in which to spend your college years. I hope you will use your time here today to take a campus tour, hear a faculty member discuss a typical day in class, or learn more about our clubs and student services at our student life fair. In the midst of your exploration, it is important to keep in mind that this is only a glimpse of what your years at Fairfield will be like.

At the end of your day, we look forward to greeting you at the Closing Reception in Bellarmine Hall. Come and see where Fairfield University started to take shape, and take your first photograph at Fairfield where you will take your last at your commencement ceremony.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lynn Babington Interim President
