Students minoring in humanitarian action have opportunities to prepare for humanitarian action through Fairfield?s JUHAN chapter (Jesuit Universities Humanitarian Action Network), as well as through internships in the field of humanitarian action. The JUHAN club raises awareness on campus about humanitarian issues and builds strategies for responding to humanitarian crises. JUHAN also includes international skills-building conferences for undergraduate students of Jesuit universities.
