Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends, An education at Quinnipiac embodies the University’s commitment to three core values: high-quality academic programs, a student-oriented environment and a strong sense of community. Each day, we strive to bring bright and capable students into the presence of talented professors in a vibrant learning environment.

Quinnipiac University would not be able to provide this opportunity to so many deserving students without the generosity and help of dedicated benefactors. We are committed to building an endowment that furthers our ability to attract and retain exceptional students and an outstanding faculty. Leadership gifts are essential to support this goal.

I invite you to join the President’s Council and partner with us as we continue our quest for excellence. Thank you for considering your important investment in our students and faculty.

Best regards, John L. Lahey President Quinnipiac University

Commitment to Excellence Members of the President’s Council assist Quinnipiac in its quest for academic excellence with significant gifts that advance the University’s mission. Because endowment is a source of permanent support, it is an ideal way for donors to perpetuate their values and commitment to Quinnipiac.

A Worthwhile Commitment When you make a leadership gift to Quinnipiac, you can direct it to a scholarship, academic unit or program that is meaningful to you. President’s Council members are recognized in the University’s annual report and enjoy invitation-only events throughout the year.
