An Unwavering Commitment to Cura Personalis

Cura personalis, meaning care of the whole person, is fundamental to Catholic history and our Jesuit roots. It informs our modern approach to education and inquiry. At Fairfield, we foster a culture of honoring each individual’s unique worth and caring for their intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual health—through our multi-disciplinary academic programming as well as our campus life and career development opportunities.

Our diversity—age, gender, nationality, culture, economic, and political—informs a rich environment of learning and service.

There is an intangible quality to the Fairfield experience for those of us who work, teach, and learn here which is difficult to capture in words. Perhaps it comes from being part of a very close-knit community of people who share a deep commitment to service and learning.
