President McGee and Victor E. Hawk

Dear student:

By the time you read these words, I expect you will have been warmly and repeatedly welcomed to Quincy University, whether you are a returning student or are new to QU. As a Catholic University sponsored by the Franciscans, hospitality is one of our fundamental values. I hope you always will feel included and help others feel included by this caring community.

The Student Handbook provides an explanation of an array of campus resources, along with many of our policies and procedures. Your personal safety and timely graduation will require you to follow these policies and take advantage of the many opportunities on our campus for academic and personal support.

Please read this newest edition of the Student Handbook carefully, as it explains many requirements for campus life that are intended to keep us safe and ensure the good of our entire community. While we typically revise the Handbook in the summer, we reserve the right to update the Handbook at any time.

We want you to seek out our faculty and staff and get whatever help you need to thrive as a QU student and alumnus. We are here to help you to succeed, to thrive, and to get ready for a life of joy and achievement.

If you are new to QU, rest assured you will find plenty to see and do at Quincy University and in Quincy. I look forward to seeing you at many campus activities in the coming weeks and months.

Let’s have another year of achievement in and out of the classroom and the laboratory. It’s always a great day to be a Hawk!

Warmly,
Brian R. McGee, Ph.D.
