Students volunteer with children at West Woods Elementary School

Students in the Quinnipiac Future Teachers Organization often volunteer their time with students in local schools. For example, several Quinnipiac students made arts and crafts with children for the World Fair at West Woods Elementary School in Hamden. Children made Chinese lanterns and painted African masks and flags from different countries. Quinnipiac student Sarah Micalizzi says, “This was an opportunity for kids to celebrate their heritage by making something meaningful and learning about their world.” 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 in Hamden. The University is constantly engaged in projects to benefit Hamden 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.
