  • MUSEUM COLLECTION:IRELAND'S GREAT HUNGER MUSEUM AT QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY INVESTIGATES THE FAMINE AND ITS IMPACT THROUGH ART. THE MUSEUM INTERPRETS THE FAMINE VISUALLY, ALLOWING ARTISTS BOTH THOSE CONTEMPORANEOUS WITH THE GREAT HUNGER AND THOSE WORKING TODAY TO EXPLORE THE IMPACT OF THE LOSS OF LIFE, THE LEECHING OF THE LAND, AND THE EROSIONS OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURE. THROUGH ITS DISPLAY OF OUTSTANDING HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY IMAGES, LAYERS OF HISTORY ARE PEELED BACK, TO UNCOVER ASPECTS OF THE FAMINE. IN MARCH 2022, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES VOTED THAT QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY WILL PARTNER WITH THE GAELIC-AMERICAN CLUB (GAC) OF FAIRFIELD; ACCORDINGLY, THE COLLECTION OF IRELAND'S GREAT HUNGER MUSEUM WILL BE DISPLAYED IN A NEW SPACE TO BE CREATED BY THE GAC.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
