Greetings to our ALPs and
WIP alumni, and other friends! Our first year of WIP partnerships
proved to be a terrific success thanks to our wonderful students and
staff! The Rassias Foundation and Fairfield University are delighted
and eager to continue offering these rigorous refresher programs.
 We are thrilled to announce the upcoming
WIPs,
which will take place on the Fairfield University campus during the
