Local Community

For nearly 100 years, Quinnipiac University has called New Haven County home. And with our 3 campuses located in the towns of Hamden and North Haven, we take our responsibility to be a good community member and neighbor seriously. We are committed to doing our part to enhance and enrich the quality of life for our students and the residents in our local communities through open communication, collaboration and positive action.
