Hamden police and fire color guard participated in a ceremony before the men’s hockey game vs. Harvard University on Hamden Community Day at the TD Bank Sports Center shortly after it opened in January 2007. Mayor Craig Henrici said, “Quinnipiac’s sports center is a great asset to the University and community. Quinnipiac will have a strong fan base from the citizens of Hamden.” Please click on the links to the left to see other ways in which Quinnipiac is engaged in the local community.

This is one of many examples of Quinnipiac's community outreach. The University is constantly engaged in projects to benefit local residents and organizations. Faculty, staff and students raise money for charity, spend time with seniors, visit schools to read to children, coach youth sports teams, invite children to campus for social and education events and provide free legal service through our law clinics. These are only some of the ways we teach our students about the responsibility of citizenship and how we encourage them to embrace volunteerism.
