📅 What is Bobcats Unite?

Bobcats Unite is Quinnipiac’s university‑wide online giving day that brings together alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends to support the Quinnipiac Fund, academic programs, Athletics, student groups, and more. It’s a collective effort to strengthen the university’s future and ensure an exceptional educational experience for every student.

🤷‍♂️ What is the Quinnipiac Fund?

The Quinnipiac Fund supports unrestricted giving. Unlike with restricted funds which must be used for specific projects or purposes, unrestricted funds provides Quinnipiac the ability to allocate resources where they are most needed.

🫵 Who should participate?

Everyone connected to the university is encouraged to participate. This includes students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and friends of the university. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference.
