Welcome! We are thrilled to reconnect with past students, staff, group leaders, and anyone else who participated in trips with International Field Studies in the last 50+ years (1970-present). Whether it was a trip to Forfar Field Station, a sailing adventure, one of our Guided Tours or a Continental Trip, we’re looking to stay in touch as we celebrate over 50 years of experiential education!
Alumni Database
With non-electronic records from the early years and many files lost over time, our records and contact information of past students, group leaders and participants is very sparse. Join our Alumni Database to stay updated with the latest news, employment opportunities, alumni events, and more!
