| First-Year Seminar Faculty Class of 2004 | |
Alphabetical First-Year Seminar Faculty Listing
2000-2001First-Year Seminar faculty represent a variety of disciplines. For faculty, the First-Year Seminars are an opportunity to explore a topic that they might not ordinarily pursue in their regular courses. Additionally, faculty who teach First-Year Seminars are self-selected, choosing to work specifically with new students and to help them begin successful, meaningful academic careers at Trinity. First-Year Seminar professors also serve as academic advisors until students declare their majors (usually during the second semester of the sophomore year), providing guidance as students design their course of study.
