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 work.
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.
P a g e | 4
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 services 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.

INSTITUTIONAL DIVERSITY
Diversity Vision Statement
As a Jesuit and Catholic institution, Fairfield University strives to be a diverse learning community
of culturally conscious individuals. The University values and celebrates different perspectives
within a commitment to the God-given dignity of the human person. As an expression of its
dedication to the service of faith and the promotion of justice, the Fairfield community seeks to
create an environment that fosters a deep understanding of cultural and human diversity. This
diversity enriches its members, both as individuals and as a community, and witnesses to the
truth of human solidarity.
Fairfield University is committed to promoting dialogue among differing points of view in order to
realize an integral understanding of what it is to be human. The University recognizes that
transcending the nation's political and social divisions is a matter of valuing diversity and learning
respect and reverence for individuals, in their similarities and their differences. Fairfield will
continue to integrate diversity in all facets of University life - academic, administrative, social, and
spiritual - as together, the community seeks to realize a vision of the common good.
Embracing Diversity
Fairfield University defines diversity in the broadest sense, reflecting its commitment to human
persons and service to all men and women. Diversity encompasses not only racial, ethnic, and
religious diversity, but also diversity of socioeconomic contexts, cultural perspectives, national
origins, sexual orientation, physical ability, and educational backgrounds.

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.
P a g e | 7
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.
