City Term

CityTerm is a specialized internship program for Trinity juniors and seniors interested in working for an urban organization. CityTerm addresses issues common to all cities but highights Hartford as a learning environment for liberal arts students. Participants undertake a semester-long internship with a local community organization or public sector agency, working two or four days per week and earning either two or four course credits. The academic component of CityTerm is based on an intensive weekly seminar conducted by a faculty member. Seminar work includes substantial reading, research papers, and oral presentations. A portion of the seminar focuses on the internship, allowing students to integrate and analyze their experiences. Additional activities such as visiting speakers and films are offered as appropriate. Examples of CityTerm internships include: Broad Park Development Corporation, Connecticut Judicial Department, Connecticut Department of Economic Development: Urban & Regional Planning, various agencies of Hartford municipal govern-ment, Hartford Downtown Council, Charter Oak Cultural Center, Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance, Hartford Courant.
