Quinnipiac’s Rotaract Club, a student organization, helped the Hamden Land Conservation Trust clean a glacial kettle on its property. Andrew Brand, vice president of the trust, said, “I admire the students for throwing on gloves and helping us clean. They were more than willing to stay until the job was completed.” 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.
