Projects

Current and Ongoing:

• Established a professional development fund to provide opportunities to exempt staff
• Winter gear collection:
  The ESC wants to help our students stay warm this winter, so we’re working with the Coop to provide easy, on-campus access to winter gear.
  
  Our students come to Trinity for the opportunity to live and learn in our beautiful New England setting.  Many arrive here from warm-weather climates and are not familiar with the changing seasons and cold climate.  If you have a surplus of winter gear, please consider sharing a few items.
  
  If you have gently-used coats, gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, or other items, we’ll take them.  You can drop off between 10/22/12 and 11/9/12 at these locations during regular Trinity business hours:
  
  
  • Admissions Office—Reception Desk
  • Registrars Office—Trinity Commons
  • Community Service and Civic Engagement Office—Mather Lower Level
  
  Items will be made available to students during an ESC-hosted Common Hour event on 11/13/12.
  
  Please contact Mandi Haines x2551 for more information.
