Past Events

Our Joyful event in Café Q was a great success. We partnered with Student Health Services and Mental Health Services on campus and provided resources to students to help everyone settle into campus. We had a Welcome Wall where students filled out what on campus makes them feel at home. We also served up some great eats with vodka sauce pizza and spicy vodka sauce spaghetti.

We had a Love, QU Dining Lemonade golf cart event where we handed out lemonade on a 90-degree day all around campus. Students were so excited for the refreshment on their walks to and from class.

New Dining Stations

This semester, we opened two new stations in Café Q: Delicious Without and Pom & Honey. Both stations have been a great success with awesome feedback from students. Our Delicious Without station has been particularly impactful as the offerings are prepared without the top 9 major allergens.

Meal Plans and Staying on Budget

Meal plans are refreshed at the beginning of each semester, and students are able to purchase individually priced items in locations across our three campuses. All items in the dining facilities are sold a la carte (not buffet). Instead of a meal-based system, students pay for each item using the meal points on their Q-Card just as they would in a traditional restaurant.

To assist students with managing their points to ensure they are not over or under using their points, monthly emails are sent to each student on a meal plan. These emails remind the student what plan they are on and their current meal point balance. Explore the resources on the Meal Plan Budgets and Staying on Track page of our website to help stay on track throughout the semester — including mobile and online budget trackers, and mobile ordering apps.

Learn more about dining on campus and view instructions on how to change a meal plan on the FAQ section of our meal plans webpage.

Student Conduct

Some key things we’d like for parents and families to be aware of:

• Defend the Den – This is a student-led, bystander intervention initiative whose mission is to empower students to speak up in challenging situations and foster a kinder campus culture together. By increasing bystander awareness, we create a more positive and inclusive community where Bobcats can rely on each other. Students are encouraged to participate in trainings, and there are opportunities for leadership roles with Defend the Den. Learn more by visiting the Defend the Den webpage
• Promoting Responsible Action in Health and Safety Emergencies – This important policy at Quinnipiac encourages students to seek help for themselves or their peers in situations where a student is at risk due to intoxication from alcohol or other drugs. Any circumstances when a person is intoxicated to the extent they are unconscious, unresponsive, or vomiting is a potential life-threatening medical emergency. When students take the responsible action of calling for help, neither the intoxicated student nor the student making the call are addressed through the student conduct process. Learn more in the university handbook 
• Suspended and Unrecognized Student Organizations – If your student makes the decision to join a student organization, please talk to them about the organization, and find out about the mission and values of the organization. All recognized student clubs and organizations, fraternities/sororities, and interest groups will be listed on Do You QU. If you have a question or concern, please contact the university. There are inherent risks associated with joining any organization that is not recognized or sponsored by the university, as they do not follow the same expectations or safety standards as recognized organizations.
• Hazing – Joining any student organization should be a positive, safe, and encouraging experience. All hazing behavior is prohibited at Quinnipiac University and is illegal. Please talk to your student about hazing, and if you learn that they are experiencing hazing, do not hesitate to report your concerns to the university. You can access all reporting forms at qu.edu/report. In any emergency, please call Public Safety at 203-582-6200. For more information, please see the policy statement on Hazing in the handbook

Community, Assessment, Response and Evaluation (CARE) Team

The Quinnipiac CARE Team is here to support students navigating health and wellness, behavioral or situational concerns. One in three first year students received support from this team last academic year and there are staff all across the university community that are prepared to help students! If you are concerned about a Quinnipiac student, more information about how to submit a CARE referral can be found on the CARE webpage
