    4. Bobcat Statue

      Throughout our three campuses is an indelible symbol of strength, intelligence and determination: the nimble bobcat. Perched on a few rocks in the center of Bobcat Way on our Mount Carmel Campus, the bobcat statue stands in the midst of our residential area as a vivid representation of our university’s central mission: an education embodying an unwavering commitment to high-quality academics, a student-oriented environment and a strong sense of community. Legend suggests that the bobcat allows no harm to come to those in its presence. 

      Central to Quinnipiac tradition, fans rub the bobcat statue’s paw for luck as they enter the sports center to cheer on our nationally ranked sports teams.

      Thousands of more bobcats can be spotted on chairs, in lighting fixtures and throughout the architecture of our campuses.
