FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT
Fairfield University, founded by the Society of Jesus, is a coeducational institution of higher learning whose primary objectives are to develop the creative intellectual potential of its students and to foster in them ethical and religious values and a sense of social responsibility. Jesuit Education, which began in 1547, is committed today to the service of faith, of which the promotion of justice is an absolute requirement.
Fairfield is Catholic in both tradition and spirit. It celebrates the God-given dignity of every human person. As a Catholic university it welcomes those of all beliefs and traditions who share its concerns for scholarship, justice, truth and freedom, and it values the diversity which their membership brings to the university community.
Fairfield educates its students through a variety of scholarly and professional disciplines. All of its schools share a liberal and humanistic perspective and a commitment to excellence. Fairfield encourages a respect for all the disciplines-their similarities, their differences, and their interrelationships. In particular, in its undergraduate schools it provides all students with a broadly based general education curriculum with a special emphasis on the traditional humanities as a complement to the more specialized preparation in disciplines and professions provided by the major programs. Fairfield is also committed to the needs of society for liberally educated professionals. It meets the needs of its students to assume positions in this society through its undergraduate and graduate professional schools and programs.
A Fairfield education is a liberal education, characterized by its breadth and depth. It offers opportunities for individual and common reflection, and it provides training in such essential human skills as analysis, synthesis, and communication. The liberally educated person is able to assimilate and organize facts, to evaluate knowledge, to identify issues, to use appropriate methods of reasoning and to convey conclusions persuasively in written and spoken word. Equally essential to liberal education is the development of the esthetic dimension of human nature, the power to imagine, to intuit, to create, and to appreciate. In its fullest sense liberal education initiates students at a mature level into their culture, its past, its present and its future.
Fairfield recognizes that learning is a life-long process and sees the education which it provides as the foundation upon which its students may continue to build within their chosen areas of scholarly study or professional development. It also seeks to foster in its students a continuing intellectual curiosity and a desire for self-education which will extend to the broad range of areas to which they have been introduced in their studies.
As a community of scholars, Fairfield gladly joins in the broader task of expanding human knowledge and deepening human
understanding, and to this end it encourages and supports the scholarly research and artistic production of its faculty and students.
Fairfield has a further obligation to the wider community of which it is a part, to share with its neighbors its resources and its special expertise for the betterment of the community as a whole. Faculty and students are encouraged to participate in the larger community through service and academic activities. But most of all, Fairfield serves the wider community by educating its students to be socially aware and morally responsible persons.
Fairfield University values each of its students as an individual with unique abilities and potentials, and it respects the personal and academic freedom of all its members. At the same time it seeks to develop a greater sense of community within itself, a sense that all of its members belong to and are involved in the University, sharing common goals and a common commitment to truth and justice, and manifesting in their lives the common concern for others which is the obligation of all educated, mature human beings.

FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY SEAL
Fairfield’s seal combines elements of its several traditions. The gold pine cones come from the coat of arms of the family of St. Robert Bellarmine, S.J. Superimposed on the cones is the badge of the Society of Jesus – the letters IHS surmounted by the cross and surrounded by the instruments of Christ’s passion - to indicate that the University is in the care of members of the same religious family.
There are three compartments in the upper portion of the shield, because "The school is dedicated and exists in the Name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The central compartment portrays a hart crossing a ford, a part of the coat of arms of the Diocese of Hartford, whose boundaries encompassed the Town of Fairfield when the University was founded.
Finally, the two outer compartments show clusters of grapes, charges taken from the town seal and symbolic of the fertility of the verdant fields of the Town and County of Fairfield.
When the University was founded in 1942, the official name of the University was "Fairfield University of St. Robert Bellarmine." Three of the original seals with this name still exist on campus - in the main lobby of Alumni Hall, on the exterior of the original Barone Campus Center, and on the glass front of Regis Hall facing the Quad.
The University seal will continue in use for official documents such as diplomas, commencement programs and transcripts.
Fairfield University’s Motto "Per Fidem Ad Plenam Veritatem" translates to "Through faith to full Truth."

FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY LOGO
The logo, unveiled in April, 1997, provides a visual identity to unify the University. The key features of the logo are the name in New Baskerville type, with "Fairfield" in upper and lower case letters and "UNIVERSITY" in all caps. The graphic of a shield features a stag fording a stream and a flowing white banner with a cross, both extracted from a section of the University seal. That selection of the seal was created in tribute to the Archdiocese of Hartford which assisted in the founding of the University since the stag or hart, another name for a male deer, is crossing a ford stream.

ALMA MATER
The University’s alma mater opens with the words: "Fairfield! See the stag with the cross of gold rears once more its undefeated head. Fairfield, our field, as any field of old, bids our banners, like our blood, be red." According to James Hall’s Dictionary of Subjects of Symbols, the long flowing white flag bearing a red cross is the Christian symbol of victory over death, the banner of Resurrection.
Fairfield! See the stag with cross of Gold
Rears once more its undefeated head.
Fair our field, as any field of old,
Bids our banners, like our blood, be red.
"Through faith, unto total truth," our cry
Swells from the sea to spire and sky;
Hear, Alma Mater, hear! Fairfield, hail!
Mem’ries fold away the thought of thee:
Autumn roses crimson on the bough,
Bright snow breaking to the dogwood tree
Keeps spring singing, then as now.
"Through faith, unto total truth," our cry
Swells from the sea to spire and sky;
Hear, Alma Mater, hear! Fairfield, hail!
Lyrics by Rev. John L. Bonn, S.J.
