Quinnipiac University’s Karla Natale shares her journey from alum to Associate Vice President overseeing community partnerships and university events. She highlights impactful initiatives such as the Bobcat Stride walking program, Quinnipiac’s age‑friendly university efforts, lifelong learning opportunities, and the wide range of campus rentals and events that bring people together.

Karla explains how these programs strengthen community connections, reduce isolation, and promote health across generations. She also offers a personal wellness tip she swears by: strength training — specifically powerlifting — for bone, heart, and overall health.
