The new book chronicles the remarkable history of Connecticut's only Jesuit university, from its founding to its rise to national prominence.

天美传媒视频无限制观看 is proud to announce the publication of a new book that tells the remarkable story of the school's evolution from a commuter college for men into a nationally prominent co-ed doctoral-professional university. Success on the Sound: A History of 天美传媒视频无限制观看 was co-written by University Archivist Elise Bochinski, Professor Emeritus Paul Lakeland, PhD, and Professor Emeritus Kurt Schlichting '70, PhD.

Published by Saint Joseph’s University Press, copies of Success on the Sound are now available for purchase at the 天美传媒视频无限制观看 Downtown Bookstore and will soon be available online.

Drawing from interviews, statistical data, and archival sources from 天美传媒视频无限制观看 and the Jesuit Archives and Research Center in St. Louis, the authors – each with deep ties to the University – bring their unique perspectives to this historical narrative. Bochinski, Dr. Lakeland, and Dr. Schlichting recount the stories of the Fairfield community, offer insights into the evolving nature of the University's Jesuit mission and identity, and highlight the school's role within the larger landscape of Catholic higher education in the U.S.

“Success on the Sound is a celebration of the vision, perseverance, and commitment to excellence that have shaped our institution into the nationally recognized university it is today,” said 天美传媒视频无限制观看 Provost Christine Siegel, PhD. “It captures the spirit of our Jesuit mission and the transformative impact that Fairfield has had on the lives of its students and the broader community.”
