BOBCATS WIN
IN THE BRONX
More than 450 Quin-
nipiac alumni and their
guests gathered for a fun
outing at Yankee Stadi-
um in August. Members
of #BobcatNation were
easily recognizable with
their co-branded Yankee
caps featuring Boomer
the Bobcat stitched on
the side.
Many of those in atten-
dance enjoyed a sold-out
pregame reception, catch-
ing up with old friends
and making new ones.
Afterward, their stories
and smiles followed them
into the right field seats
as the Yankees took the
field to do battle with the
Toronto Blue Jays.
Four friends from the
Class of 2016 connected
at the game to cheer
for the Yankees. “We’re
all friends, and we all
met at Quinnipiac,” said
Bianca Waffenschmidt, a
third-year student in QU’s
doctor of physical therapy
program. “And now we’re
all here!”
Other alumni spotted at
the game included Katie
Meriano ’86, MHS ’91, JD
’00, professor of occu-
pational therapy, and her
husband John ’81, MBA
’88, associate vice presi-
dent for auxiliary services,
as well as former registrar
Dottie Lauria ’79 and Al
Carbone, former associate
dean of admissions.
The next generation
of #BobcatNation also
turned out. Tyler Toledo
’22, a film, television
and media arts major
from Queens, New York,
enjoyed the game with his
father, Ted. “Quinnipiac
