The Quinnipiac University Advancing Diversity in Science (QUADS) program encourages high school students in Connecticut to develop science skills and knowledge through a place-based science education experience.
Created in partnership with the Connecticut Collegiate Awareness and Preparation (ConnCAP) program, QUADS is a three-year experience that matches 75 first-year high school students in Ansonia, Hamden and Meriden with science educators, Quinnipiac professors and student mentors.
Throughout the academic year, these students enjoy a more enriching learning experience as they develop attributes associated with college readiness and celebrate their progress during a weeklong summer session on Quinnipiac's campus.
