Quinnipiac student introduces free period products to campus bathrooms

Ahead of National Period Poverty Week starting on May 22, one Quinnipiac University student is making a difference in campus bathrooms. Makeba Walcott, a first-year medical student has begun a free period product trial run in many bathrooms within the Netter School of Medicine. The success of this trial run will determine whether or not the university can fund this initiative, long-term. Plus, along with this trial run, the period equity conversation in the local community is only growing, especially here in North Haven, Conn.
