Quinnipiac Pact
Quinnipiac is our home away from home. When our faculty, staff and students are among their Bobcat family, their health, safety and support needs will be cared for as if they’re with their own family. Through this pledge, we acknowledge the impact our actions have on each other, and the role we each have in keeping our Quinnipiac community safe from spread of COVID-19. By signing this pledge, I am committing to protect my own health, to help protect the health of others, and to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our neighborhoods and communities.
Task Force
Our coronavirus task force here at Quinnipiac is comprised of university leadership and medical professionals across a variety of fields and disciplines, as well as personnel from our Emergency Management Team. The task force meets daily and is focused on addressing the difficult challenges presented by the realities of this global health crisis.
