Quinnipiac Alumni

Leslie Giddens Robinson, DNP ’21, devotes much of her time to the School of Nursing’s advisory board, where she has spoken with Quinnipiac students in the accelerated BSN program about her journey to her profession.

She gives credit to Quinnipiac for instilling in her confidence and for giving her meaningful relationships with faculty.

“Attending Quinnipiac was the best educational experience of my life. I could always reach out to faculty, no matter how long after I had graduated, for assistance. The faculty, IT department, School of Nursing librarian, fellow classmates and DNP program all led me to success.”

It was great getting together in Fairfield, CT, last night with fellow Law alumni!

We enjoyed an incredible evening reconnecting, reminiscing, and recognizing Professor Charlie Pillsbury, who is retiring this year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the growth and accomplishments of Quinnipiac’s School of Law!

"I enrolled at Quinnipiac because it felt like a welcoming environment and a place where I could become a whole lawyer. I had a personalized tour of the school, and I knew it was the perfect fit."

Innate passion combined with numerous opportunities created unique experiences that shaped School of Law Class of 2026 graduate Iyanna Ellis, JD ’26, into the lawyer and person she is.
