One Calendar for Academics and Events at Fairfield University
“So the thing that makes me the happiest about 25Live is to be able to bulk edit stuff.”
Bridget Dalen, Fairfield University conferences and events team
Fairfield University’s 200-acre campus sits on the Connecticut coast, about an hour from New York City. About 6,800 students study across five schools, and the university’s catalog lists additional locations in Bridgeport and Mystic, Connecticut.
The campuses include 36 buildings that serve many purposes. Classes meet in the academic halls. Events take place in spaces like the Oak Room, Bellarmine Hall (dating to 1927), and the Quick Center for the Arts, which hosts hundreds of performances, lectures, and exhibits each year.
Two teams needed the same system. The conferences and events team and the registrar’s office each wanted something they could use every day, and after evaluating their options, they chose 25Live. Fairfield went live on 25Live in July 2025 and has since joined a Northeast 25Live user group that meets every other week to compare notes.
Day-to-day upkeep and responsive customer support are part of 25Live’s appeal.
“Customer support is amazing with 25Live, especially compared to what we used to have. They would not respond. Now I get responses immediately, and I get follow-up questions if I go back.”

Customer Spotlight: DePauw University
Academic and Event Scheduling at DePauw University
DePauw University is a liberal arts college in Greencastle, Indiana, about 45 minutes west of Indianapolis. Its 1,900 undergraduate students live and study on 695 acres, and the town around them, about 10,000 people, is closely tied to campus life.
Classes meet across 36 buildings. East College, dedicated in 1877, still hosts classes and events, and the School of Music, the Theatre Department, and the Communications Department share the Green Center for the Performing Arts, where the venues range from a 220-seat recital hall to a 1,330-seat auditorium.
The calendar outside the classroom is just as full. The Green Center hosts around 100 performances a year, from masterclasses to mainstage productions, including the Green Guest Artist series and the annual DePauw Theatre and DePauw Opera productions. Students gather in the ballroom and Ubben Lounge at the Memorial Student Union Building, known as the UB, and the annual Monon Bell football game against Wabash College is a campus highlight. Beyond campus, the 520-acre DePauw Nature Park, a former limestone quarry, has an amphitheater that can be reserved through the Office of Conference and Campus Events.
DePauw went live on 25Live in August 2026, and it uses 25Live for events and all academic courses.

Academic and Event Scheduling at St. Mary’s University
St. Mary’s University began in 1852 on the banks of what is now the River Walk in San Antonio, and it is described as the oldest Catholic university in Texas. Today, approximately 3,500 students study on a 135-acre campus on San Antonio’s West Side.
Classes meet in buildings like the Richter Math-Engineering Center and the Raba Law Building, and the Albert B. Alkek Business Building is home to the Bill Greehey School of Business. The Blank Sheppard Innovation Center adds labs for robotics, data science, and engineering design, along with labs and classrooms for the nursing program.
The calendar beyond the classroom offers a wide range of events. The Oyster Bake began as an alumni gathering in 1916 and became an official Fiesta event in 1974; the Fiesta Jazz Festival and Low Brass Day also take place on campus. StMU Theatre performs in Treadaway Recital Hall, and the University Center hosts the Summer Jazz Camp showcase.

One Platform, Zero Double-Entry
Seamlessly Interacts with 25Live

Interested in Learning More?
See how Connect25 student engagement software links student engagement directly to the scheduling system you already trust—without adding complexity.
Our dynamic workflow engine is superior to competitors' basic approval routing. Connect25 supports multi-stage, conditional, role-based workflows with automated system actions—plus AI that can review and approve on behalf of overloaded staff.
Our AI workflow reviewer is a unique differentiator. It evaluates submissions against natural-language rules, catches nuanced errors, requests changes from submitters, and can auto-approve routine workflows—saving schools significant review time and labor.
Real-time messaging built into your workflow approval process means approvers and submitters can communicate without leaving the platform—something other student engagement platforms on the market do not offer.
An org officer can submit a budget request, get approval via workflow, and have the event created with room booking—all in one automated process. No other platform can do this.

Connect25 is a student engagement platform built natively with 25Live, not a third-party integration. It shares your 25Live database and includes event registration, logic-based custom forms, budgeting, activity tracking, and engagement analytics. Events created in Connect25 appear in 25Live in real time, and organization data flows in both directions.
Both applications share the same database, so updates to organizations or events on either side show up on the other without a sync job. Connect25 uses your existing single sign-on and role-based permissions. Canceled events in 25Live don’t appear in Connect25, status changes flow through, and approvals mirror in both places.
You can have as many stages as your process requires, each with its own approver or approval group. A Student Life approval, a space approval, and a resource approval can each be a separate stage. Answers to form questions can also change the routing or skip stages entirely, so one workflow can cover a wide range of requests. Whether an approval automatically assigns a space in 25Live depends on your workflow, since it’s fully customizable.
Budget requests go through My Workflow, where approvers receive in-app notifications and can approve or deny. Connect25 tracks and authorizes spending requests, but it does not move funds. Actual money movement happens outside the platform, and you can export budget data to Excel.
Yes to both. Connect25 supports organization-level and campus-wide elections, including voting and nomination workflows. Students log service hours and submit them for approval. Officers and administrators approve the submissions, and the data flows into engagement reports. Badges are optional, and only the criteria you configure are used.
