Shadow a Stag offers a unique opportunity to experience a day in the life of a Fairfield student. During this visit, you will be paired with a current undergraduate who will bring you along to classes, introduce you to fellow current Stags, and give you an authentic look at academics and campus life.

For the Fall 2026 semester, Shadow a Stag visits are intended for students who graduate high school in 2027. We encourage all other students to explore campus through one of our other visit offerings.

Shadow a Stag visits are not available on Wednesdays.

Because each visitor is paired with a compatible student host, advance notice is required. Registration closes one week prior to the scheduled visit date to allow our team time to make thoughtful matches.

Visitors may choose to shadow a student during either a morning or afternoon session. Morning visits run from 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., and afternoon visits run from 12:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. We will do our best to match each guest with a host based on academic and extracurricular interests.

We look forward to welcoming you to campus and helping you imagine your future at Fairfield.

For questions, please contact Mike Boller, Associate Director of Undergraduate Admission.
