International Student Life

International Student Life in the Office of Student Engagement is aimed at supporting and building community among our currently-enrolled, on-campus international and domestic students. We are happy to welcome all of our international students and hope to provide them with support outside of the classroom. We put on events to help foster student experiences as they attend Fairfield University and provide immigration support to our visa-holding students.

In this vibrant community with over 100 clubs and organizations, there are countless activities to choose from. Whether it is participating in an intramural sport, Broadway trip, Fairfield@Night event, attending athletic games or quintessential events like Red Sea Madness, Alumni & Family Weekend, or Presidential Ball, there is always something to do.

The Office of Student Engagement (OSE) works with student organizations, faculty, and other University offices to further integrate diversity into developmental and social programs for students. As a result, the office establishes meaningful relationships with students in order to effectively address their needs, interests, and concerns. We encourage you to discover and join the hundreds of student clubs, events, and programs that Fairfield University has to offer!
