Quinnipiac partners with People’s United Bank
Quinnipiac University and People’s United Bank announced a 10-year, $10 million agreement on Thursday afternoon at a joint press conference in Hamden.
Per the agreement, People’s United Bank will donate $5 million to Quinnipiac in support of two academic centers in the School of Business—the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Center for Women and Business.
The athletic stadium located on Quinnipiac’s York Hill campus—known as the TD Bank Sports Center since it was built 2007—will be known as the People’s United Center as of July 1, 2018. That date also marks the beginning of Judy Olian’s tenure as university president.
“This sponsorship with People’s United Bank will benefit the entire university community as well as the tens of thousands of fans who attend our Division I men’s and women’s ice hockey and basketball games each year,” Quinnipiac University President John Lahey said in a press release. “In addition, People’s United Bank’s support of two of our most prominent centers in the School of Business will improve the educational opportunities for our current students as well as the alumni and community members who take part in the many high-quality programs each center offers.”
