Partnering with local small businesses and restaurant owners is a collaborative effort that not only strengthens the bond between the local and Quinnipiac community but also fosters unique offerings and shared success. It is important that together we create a thriving network of relationships where entrepreneurship flourishes.
We periodically have small businesses from the area set up on campus to sell products and network with potential customers. Past events have included a local business fair on the quad and a "Sip and Shop" event for minority-owned businesses. If you have a business you'd like to promote, reach out to us and we'll guide you on next steps.
Q-Cards serve as an identification and debit card system for students, faculty and staff. Students are able to add funds to their Q-Card and, at locations where Q-Cards are accepted, easily pay for goods and services using this declining debit system.

Hiring a Quinnipiac student to assist local businesses brings fresh perspectives and cutting-edge skills that can invigorate growth and innovation within the community. Their academic excellence and dedication make them valuable assets in driving success for small enterprises.
