Foundation: 1942

Mission: 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.

Vision: Fairfield University's strategic vision calls for the institution to become recognized for leadership in producing graduates whose lives reflect personal integration, competence in multicultural understanding, and a commitment to professional responsibility. To achieve this vision, President Jeffrey P. von Arx, S.J. identified 3 strategic priorities - integration of the core curriculum, integration of living and learning, and integration of Jesuit values in graduate and professional studies - and insisted that these be accompanied by an institution-wide commitment to diversity and Fairfield's Jesuit and Catholic identity.
