The Quinnipiac Chronicle

Apr 23, 2024 | quchronicle.com | Lillian Curtin |Aidan Sheedy

The buzzer sounds as the 2023 NCAA men’s hockey championship heads to overtime tied at 2-2. A shaking 19-year-old sits in silence on the concourse of a sold-out Amalie Arena, a camera in each hand, mesmerized at the photos he just captured. Suddenly, the buzzer marks the end of intermission. He gets up and sprints through the fans, tears running down his face, his media pass swaying side-to-side with his cameras heavy against his chest. There’s just one thing — those aren’t his cameras.

On April 15, 1947, 28-year-old Jackie Robinson suited up for the Brooklyn Dodgers, officially breaking Major League Baseball’s color barrier. While Robinson was not the first Black player in baseball history, he remains one of the greatest symbols of Black excellence in the United States for his accomplishments on and off the field. In school, we’re taught that his perseverance integrated baseball and America’s pastime and was used as a bridge toward equality during the Civil Rights Movement.
SPB has students seeing stars

Jan 30, 2024 | quchronicle.com | Aidan Sheedy

Quinnipiac University’s Student Programming Board rang in the new year by offering a new event for students on Jan. 25. Students conversed while making constellation jars and galaxy globes. Constellation jars are made by stamping stars into glossy paper that you wrap inside of a glass jar. Then, insert a fake candle, and it looks like stars in the sky. The galaxy globes were the biggest hit. This take on a snow globe needs just baby oil, water and a lot of glitter.

There’s no more universal symbol of support than a hand on a shoulder. On the afternoon of Dec. 2, over 50 players and coaches from the Hamden Youth Hockey Association gathered at center ice, hands on every shoulder and demonstrated how these seemingly small gestures can have the greatest impact. The 60-year-old Louis “Lou” Astorino Ice Arena welcomed a “Shoulder Check” showcase for the local hockey league aiming to educate young athletes on the importance of kindness while competing.

For years, Quinnipiac University students have waited in the freezing cold to count down the seconds before the Mount Carmel Campus Quad is illuminated for the holiday season. But this year was different. This time, the university offered new features and events to the students’ festivities, including an ugly sweater contest, holiday trivia and even free coloring books, courtesy of the Student Artists League.

New Haven County community members gathered at the corner of Orange and Crown streets on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the area’s LGBTQ+ identities at the 2023 New Haven Pride festival. The New Haven Pride Center hosted its annual block-party-style event the day after it was rescheduled due to inclement weather. But the event almost didn’t happen for a reason much more serious than the weather.
It's time Quinnipiac students walk on the grass

Oct 24, 2023 | quchronicle.com | AJ Newth |Aidan Sheedy

Quinnipiac University has many traditions. From the “Bobcat Roar” chant and “Beat Yale” hockey games, generations of students are connected through these rituals. However, there’s one tradition that’s gone too far and is an absurd rule for all students to follow. I’m talking about staying off the quad grass. One of the first things students are told as a first-year is to never, under any circumstances, walk on the grass. Orientation leaders say it’s not cool and something that no one does.
Bad Bunny chases GOAT status with new album

Oct 24, 2023 | quchronicle.com | Jacklyn Pellegrino |Aidan Sheedy

World-renowned musical artist Bad Bunny surprised fans on Oct. 13 with a brand new 22-song album titled, “nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana.” The album is deep and personal, but the Puerto Rican superstar remains his flashy and performative self, while reverting back to his trap roots in his most intimate record yet. The title translates to “no one knows what’s going to happen tomorrow,” and is chock-full of certified bangers at a runtime of just over one hour and 20 minutes.
