Belonging at Quinnipiac

Cross-Cultural Education

Cross-cultural education occurs through a host of services and programs that promote belonging and engagement at Quinnipiac. As a partner of the Office of International Students and Scholars and the Office of Student Engagement, our goal is to create an environment that reflects, supports and encourages students to celebrate their own as well as others’ cultural heritage. 

Program Offerings

Community Connections Series

The Community Connections Series brings individuals to campus for storytelling events that share inspirational journeys, expert insights, and personal narratives to strengthen community bonds and give the campus community perspectives from lived experiences. 

Leadership Retreats

Our retreats are designed to provide an opportunity for students to develop essential skills for belonging through interpersonal discussion, leadership development and community engagement. The retreat helps connect students to campus resources and networks that support academic and personal success.

Training and Education

We develop, execute and benchmark university-wide training that’s delivered online and in person. These workshops and trainings are meant to foster cross-cultural awareness and the active practice of belonging among faculty, staff and students. The sessions are focused on leadership, social identity development, cultural competence, intersectionality, allyship and related topics for the university community.
