The Office of Corporate Relations serves as a coordination point and in many instances a portal for Fairfield's many relationships with the business community. The Office works closely with various campus entities and with the University's corporate partners to develop and support collaborative activities beneficial to industry, to higher education, and to the community at large, including but not limited to:

• Internships and recruiting
• Collaboration on research projects
• Establishment of scholarships for financially needy and talented students
• Sponsorships of special events and student centered activities
• Corporate driven research projects
• Corporate education
• Corporate event planning and meetings at the Quick Center for the Arts

The Office of Corporate Relations is the liaison for mutually beneficial initiatives, and is a resource for both the University and business communities. Whether it be a Fortune 500 Company, a local area business, or a corporate-sponsored Fund or Foundation, Corporate Relations provides long-term, strategic planning which enables companies to participate in and benefit from their relationships with Fairfield.

Developing a strong relationship requires a high level of trust and communication that focuses on benefits and outcomes inclusive of both the corporation's and the University's objectives, not exclusive of one another.

With a demonstrated commitment to excellence, Fairfield University is dedicated to assist the business community. Whether you are interested in one or more of the programs highlighted in this website or have a unique business need to address, Fairfield welcomes the opportunity to work with you.
