“Best Buddies” Friendship Walk Comes To Fairfield County

Caroline Sweeny is a Senior majoring in Psychology & Management at Fairfield University. Yet, all the while, it is hard to ignore her deep passion for spreading love throughout her community. When she arrived at Fairfield U, Caroline was immediately drawn to help grow the Fairfield University Chapter for “Best Buddies” — a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting inclusion and one-on-one friendships between individuals with and without Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, to help create friendships, social opportunities, and a more inclusive community. "Men and women for and with others" is a Jesuit Value that Fairfield University values and emphasizes, and it certainly rings true here.
