School of Health Sciences

The School of Health Sciences prepares students to tackle major challenges inherent in 21st-century patient care and medical research. Here is how your gift to the School of Health Sciences Academic Excellence Fund creates the next generation of health experts and top researchers:

Go Baby Go

• For almost a decade, Quinnipiac faculty and students put wheels in motion for special needs children through the Go Baby Go initiative. Go Baby Go is a national program that was created at the University of Delaware by Cole Galloway, the school’s Associate Chair of Physical Therapy. Quinnipiac launched its own chapter in 2012 in a physical therapy capstone group under the guidance of Clinical Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Michelle Broggi. The program focuses on adapting kids’ electric cars so that those with disabilities can independently drive the toy vehicles. This five-phase process can include rewiring and modifying functionality, as well as installing a five-point harness and a red “go” button for children unable to manually depress a foot pedal.
• Your gift provides critical funds to this initiative, providing more Health Sciences students the opportunity to participate and learn how to innovate, all in service of communities and children in need.

Equipment & Technology Needs

• In order to stay competitive, the School of Health Sciences has extensive medical equipment needs and technology upgrades.
• Your gift to the Academic Excellence Fund can help with these upgrades and bringing new, cutting-edge equipment to campus, giving students hands-on experience with the programs and equipment they will need to master long before they are ready for the work force.

Research Support

• Students and faculty alike conduct some of the most comprehensive and innovative research every day in the School of Health Sciences.
• Support faculty and student collaboration by making a gift to the Academic Excellence Fund. Your support can be used to fund research projects, helping students and faculty go the extra mile and make important discoveries right on Quinnipiac's North Haven campus.

With your gift, you can provide our students with the resources they need to excel, preparing them to become leaders and innovators in their respective fields. Your support is an investment not just in our institution but in the future of every student who walks through our doors.
