Summary
Located in Hamden, Conn., Quinnipiac University was founded in 1929 in New Haven as the Connnecticut College of Commerce. The school had such a meager enrollment at times that it had to close from 1943 to 1945 because most of the students were drafted into World War II. After the war, the college became a four-year school, merged with a small women's college and, in 1963, moved north to Hamden, to open land across from Sleeping Giant State Park. The school now boasts 51 undergraduate programs in addition to 17 graduate programs and a law school, which was added in 1991. The school is also home to the widely respected Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. The Q Poll conducts regular surveys in Connecti...
Located in Hamden, Conn., Quinnipiac University was founded in 1929 in New Haven as the Connnecticut College of Commerce. The school had such a meager enrollment at times that it had to close from 1943 to 1945 because most of the students were drafted into World War II. After the war, the college became a four-year school, merged with a small women's college and, in 1963, moved north to Hamden, to open land across from Sleeping Giant State Park. The school now boasts 51 undergraduate programs in addition to 17 graduate programs and a law school, which was added in 1991. The school is also home to the widely respected Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. The Q Poll conducts regular surveys in Connecticut, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and nationwide about hotly contested political races. The poll made its name by corectly predicting the outcome of the fiercely fought Schumer-D'Amato New York Senate race in 1998. The poll results are regularly cited by national and regional media. John L. Lahey, appointed Quinnipiac's president in 1987, is widely credited with raising the school's profile. He boosted enrollment, guided a campus building boom and oversaw a big jump in the endowment. Notable alumni include New Haven bagel king Murray Lender, William C. Weldon, chairman of the board and CEO of Johnson & Johnson and numerous television reporters, media professionals and public relations executives.
