Alumni Association

We like to think that this is especially true for Fairfield alumni, who are known for staying connected with their fellow classmates years after graduation. One way they make this happen is by getting involved with the Alumni Association.

Comprised of a wide representation of Fairfield alumni — demographically, geographically, in occupation, and graduation year, the Association's Board of Directors work hand-in-hand with the University to represent their fellow alumni, serving as your voice on an array of University matters.

All Fairfield alumni automatically become members of the Alumni Association upon graduation. If you are interested in getting involved, or learning more about the work of the Association, contact President Joe Delaney Class of 2003, MBA’04, at jpdelaney81@gmail.com.
