Take a peak at our new Wellness Room, funded by last year's generous STAGiving Day donors, with our Dean of the Library, by watching this short video...
Please join us in celebrating STAGiving Day on March 19th 2025, by making a gift to the DiMenna-Nyselius Library directly, so we can continue to meet the evolving needs of our campus community.
Donors to the Library and the University’s wellness initiatives in 2024, our students thank you! We would also like to thank the following groups for their feedback pre- and post opening of the new Wellness Room: Health & Wellness Committee, Student Library Advisory Board, Faculty Library Committee, Muslim Student Association, Campus Ministry, Recreation, and anyone who has taken our survey to share their experience using the room, and suggestions for improvement.
Student feedback:
“It is a great space where you can decompress and forget about everything stressing you out for a few minutes.”
“Very calming and offers a lot of options to ease your stress. Definitely something for everyone to enjoy in this room, especially love the massage chair.”
“I was there for the opening of the room and I love the different sections of it and how the praying area is so inclusive!“
Dean of the Library and University Librarian, Christina S. McGowan, gives a tour of the Wellness Room.

The Library is vital to the University’s mission. Your gift supports the DiMenna-Nyselius Library’s efforts to meet the teaching, learning, and research needs of our community. Gifts help us grow our diverse collections and resources, preserve University history, transform study and collaborative spaces in our building, and provide enriching programs, services, exhibits, and opportunities to the Fairfield University community.
What is STAGiving Day?
STAGiving Day is 24 hours of collaborative fundraising to support Fairfield's students, faculty, and community. Giving Day amplifies the power of your gift—of any size—through matches and challenges from generous donors. A tradition in its eleventh year, STAGiving Day is One Day when the Stag community comes together as One Fairfield to support student scholarships, innovative research, athletics, inclusive excellence, spirituality, service, and other important University initiatives —and close the gaps not filled by tuition or endowment funds.
