Student-Run Enterprises
At Quinnipiac University, students don’t just study business – they run it. Through our student-run enterprises, you’ll gain hands-on experience managing real operations that serve the campus community while building skills that set you apart in your career.
On the Rocks Pub
On the Rocks Pub is a vibrant gathering spot on our York Hill campus, hosting a variety of events, including hockey watch parties, galas, open-mic nights and holiday parties, in addition to being a regular spot for casual meetups with friends. The pub features bar stools, booths and farm tables, offering a selection of beer, wine, non-alcoholic beverages and pub-style food. There is also a stage for live entertainment, multiple TV screens and table-top shuffle board.
As an entirely student-managed venue, students gain real-world experience in hospitality and event management – from operations and finance to marketing and customer service.
Shake Smart
Run by students, for students, Shake Smart in the Recreation and Wellness Center offers healthy, convenient food options for students who are looking for a delicious protein shake to reenergize themselves after a workout or as a study pick-me-up.
Part of a national brand, this student-operated smoothie bar provides opportunities to learn about food service operations, health and wellness trends, and customer engagement — all while fueling the Quinnipiac community.
School of Business Café
Located in our new School of Business building, the student-run café is a hub of energy, innovation and collaboration. Student managers oversee branding, operations and strategy, connecting classroom learning with real entrepreneurial practice.
The café features breakfast items such as overnight oats and warm breakfast items, made-to-order and grab-and-go lunch sandwiches, as well as a We Proudly Serve Starbucks coffee with brewed iced and hot beverages and bottled drinks.
