FAIRFIELD – Fairfield University has gotten its own fan-branded coffee that will be served at all university events thanks to a collaboration with a Fairfield Prep alumnus’ business.
Silvermine Coffee Roasters, which opened last year by Thomas Morsanutto, a Norwalk native and Fairfield Prep Class of 2004 alumnus, will also soon be available at The Pantry in downtown Fairfield, according to the university.
The Red Sea student fan section at Fairfield University —a long-standing campus tradition—embodies the enthusiasm, energy, and pride of the Stags. The coffee is named as such to celebrate the community spirit of the college, according to Jennifer Anderson, vice president of marketing and communications at Fairfield University.
“We are delighted to welcome Silvermine Coffee Roasters into our Fairfield community,” said Anderson. “This partnership not only provides our campus with exceptional coffee but also reinforces Fairfield University’s dedication to supporting local businesses and cultivating sustainable relationships within our community.”
Morsanutto is psyched to be involved with his alma mater after all these years.
“I’m very excited to be working with Fairfield University and providing coffee across campus,” he said. “I have so many great memories from my time at Prep and am honored to share my passion with the next generation of students.”
National Coffee Day presents the perfect moment for the university to announce this collaboration, which aligns with Fairfield’s broader commitment of supporting small businesses and creating vibrant, localized connections.
The university’s third-party sponsorship agency Van Wagner Sports and Entertainment, facilitated the partnership between Silvermine Coffee Roasters and Fairfield University.
Silvermine Coffee Roasters is dedicated to crafting high-quality, responsibly sourced coffee.
