A Warm Welcome to Our International Students

International Student Corner

From the Desk of Agnes Simon, Global Fairfield International Student and Visa Manager

 As we begin the Spring 2025 semester, we’re excited to share a snapshot of the diverse and dynamic international students that make our campus community truly unique.

A Warm Welcome Awaits

This spring, we’re thrilled to welcome back 115 returning international students—61 undergraduates and 54 graduate students. Additionally, we’re excited to greet 10 new international degree-seeking students, including 3 undergraduates and 7 graduate students. To assist them in getting acquainted and feeling at home, we have planned a full day of events and important information sharing during our Mandatory Global Orientation on Friday, January 17th.

Our international student population represents a wide array of countries, including India, Turkey, Vietnam, Ireland, Brazil, Spain, Germany, and Nigeria, among others. This rich tapestry of cultures and backgrounds contributes to the vibrant and inclusive atmosphere of our campus.

Expanding Horizons

We are also pleased to announce our growing exchange student population for this semester. We will be hosting 3 exchange students from our esteemed partner institutions, including Sogang University in South Korea, Maastricht,  Florence University of the Arts. These students will be with us for a semester, enriching our campus with their global perspectives.

We look forward to an exciting and enriching semester with all of you!
