Student-Athletes Visit Celentano Biotech Magnet School in New Haven

March 16, 2017 By Team Up 4 Community

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut – Members of five different QU Athletics sports teams – men’s lacrosse, men’s basketball, women’s rugby, women’s soccer and acrobatics & tumbling – made a visit to Celentano Biotech, Health and Medicine Magnet School in New Haven this week. The Positive Play initiative was made in conjunction with Dr. Suess Week as the Bobcats read books to the elementary and middle school children.

The student-athletes took time to read Dr. Suess books to seven different classrooms at the Celentano Magnet School while the Bobcats also donated a betta fish to all seven classrooms they visited on the afternoon. The children then got to name the fish after Dr. Suess characters they heard the athletes read to them about that same day.

Adopted years ago, Quinnipiac’s Positive Play initiative encourages community involvement by the University’s student-athletes, coaches and administrators. Quinnipiac is dedicated to the promotion and development of service, service learning and civic engagement programs and initiatives that involve students in the local community. The student-athletes are challenged to critically examine the role their service plays in cultivating personal development and social change. Over the course of the academic year, Quinnipiac student-athletes will participate in over 500 total hours while participating in more than 100 community service events.
