Clairefontaine International University Strengthens Ties Through Dual Immersion Visits

In spring 2025, Bowie State University welcomed two delegations from Clairefontaine International University for academic and cultural immersion experiences that further advanced a developing institutional partnership. Through both visits, Clairefontaine students and faculty explored Bowie State's academic programs and campus culture while building meaningful connections with administrators, faculty and student leaders.

The delegations participated in admissions and academic overview sessions, observed classes, toured research labs and makerspaces, and engaged with faculty in business, history and government, natural sciences, mathematics, computer science, and communication. Hands-on activities included mock radio and television segments, demonstrations in computer science labs, and visits to entrepreneurship and innovation spaces.

Reflective sessions during each visit highlighted opportunities for future collaboration, including joint programming and summer initiatives. The partnership's growing impact was evident when two Clairefontaine students applied for admission to the fall 2025 semester after their time on campus. These visits laid a strong foundation for expanded engagement between the institutions and demonstrated Bowie State's increasing visibility as a global academic partner.
