We’ve held an Islamic poetry slam, packed sandwiches for those with food insecurity and partnered with Q-Thon, Quinnipiac’s year-round fundraiser for the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center that culminates with a 10-hour dance marathon. Best of all, our programs and events are often organized and run by students. There are exciting opportunities for leadership, growth and a broader awareness of our fellow human beings.
