Fr. John Padberg speaks about what it means to be a contemplative in action.

Born in 1948, Fr Boughton is a native of Long Island, New York, and a 1970 graduate of Boston College. He entered the Society in the New England Province that year, and later earned his MA in English at Boston College and his M.Div at the Weston School of Theology. He was ordained a priest in 1979.

From 1980 until 1990 Fr Boughton served as Chaplain at the College of the Holy Cross, and then served as Rector of the Jesuit Community at Fairfield University. He then served for ten years at President of Fairfield Prep. Fr Boughton was one of the elected delegates from the New England Province to the 35th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus.

Fr. Boughton has served on the Board of Trustees for the University of Scranton, and for Boston College High School, Regis High School, and Fordham Prep. He presently serves on the Board of Cheverus High School and Cristo Rey Boston High School.

Fr. von Arx brings to Fairfield broad academic interests and an integrated view of learning. His zest for student life is born of having lived in undergraduate residence halls throughout his years at Georgetown and Fordham. His approach to the intellectual life reflects the best of what Jesuit education offers the world – the integration of knowledge and values as the foundation for unity of mind, body, and spirit.

An historian by discipline, Fr. von Arx began his academic career at Georgetown University, where he taught in the History Department from 1982 to 1998, and was its chair from 1991 to 1997. He then moved into administration at Fordham University, serving as Dean of Fordham College at Rose Hill from 1998 until his selection as President by the Fairfield University Board of Trustees in 2004.

He graduated from Princeton University in 1969 and entered the Society of Jesus that summer. He subsequently earned an M.A. and M.Phil. in history at Yale University, and completed his Ph.D. there in 1980. A year later, Fr. von Arx received an M.Div. from the Weston School of Theology and was ordained a priest.

Fr. von Arx has served or is currently on the boards of trustees of Boston College, Canisius College, Loyola Marymount University, and Xavier University, as well as Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (NEASC). He was appointed to the Fairfield Board in 2002 and as president, continues to serve as a trustee.
