Between 1996 and 2005 the Trinity Center for Neighborhoods (TCN) served as a bridge between the neighborhoods and the campus.  It provided the community with faculty and student research capabilities in areas of community interest and concern.

TCN-sponsored student and faculty research projects have been archived over the past ten years. Click here to view the project list. Many of the TCN projects are in conjunction with or complementary to other urban initiatives presently being undertaken by different parts of the Trinity College community.

While it is reconfiguring its urban initiatives the College is offering a more limited set of programs.  Students can register for research and internship opportunities with community-based organizations through a Sociology seminar called “Organizing by Neighborhoods” and through other community engagement programs such as the Internship Program, the Hartford Studies Project and the Community Learning Initiative. The Director’s Training Program is being offered in a shortened, writing/presentation-intensive version in the spring of 2006. Call Elly Jacobson at 297-4275 for more information on this program.
