International and immigrant students, faculty and staff greatly enhance the vitality of cultural and intellectual life of the Connecticut College campus, and we value the distinctive contributions of these members of our community.
Recent U.S. presidential executive orders and other actions have called into question some federal legislation and regulations that might directly impact some members of the Connecticut College community. On this site are information and resources related to those proposed federal changes.
Campus Contacts
