 What they’re reading…
Professor of Psychology

Herzberger
"I
just finished rereading Theodore Dreiser's Sister
Carrie and would recommend it to all who haven't
touched it since high school or college. I am in the
midst of three other books: Yann Martel's Life of Pi,
Madeleine Albright's Madame Secretary: A Memoir, and
Why Not? by Barry Nalebuff and Ian Ayres, Yale
professors whose passion it is to devise solutions to
seemingly intractable problems. I am enjoying all
three and soon will be willing to loan them to others." |

Charles Morris
Director of Campus Safety
Security with Sensitivity
With more than three decades of experience in
public safety, including almost 25 years as a detective in the
Hartford Police Department, Director of Campus Safety Charlie
Morris has been around long enough to understand the difference
between maintaining a safe campus and unnecessarily infringing
upon the freedoms of the campus community. He recognizes clearly
the role that his department plays in the life of the College.
“Sure, we’re here to ensure a safe environment for each and every
member of the Trinity community,” he says. “But at the same time,
it’s our job to make everyone who comes to campus feel welcome and
comfortable. We have to be aware that each person is an individual
and that every situation is different. Unlike a police department,
this job is always up close and personal.”
Morris grew up in a small town outside Jacksonville, Florida,
before moving to Hartford in 1964. While attending college in
Tennessee a couple of years later, he received a draft notice from
the United States Army. The war in Southeast Asia was gaining
momentum and Morris soon found himself on his way to Vietnam. He
became a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division, earning 13
medals and commendations, including two Bronze Stars for “heroic
or meritorious achievement against an armed enemy.” After
completing his tour of duty, Morris returned to Connecticut and,
in 1971, joined the Hartford Police Department. “My role as a
police officer was to assist people,” he explains. “Sometimes it
was hard, but I always tried to do the best I could.”
Several years later Morris became a detective, where he worked
robbery and homicide cases for nine years. Following his promotion
to sergeant, he was assigned to head up the juvenile and
intelligence divisions–focusing his attention on narcotics and
organized crime, which included dealing with Hartford’s gang
problems. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1990 and
was subsequently put in charge of the vice and narcotics units; he
retired from the department and came to Trinity in 1992. “Each
step, each advancement in my career, played a part in making me
who I am today,” Morris says, “both as a person and as the
director of campus safety at Trinity College. I have seen a lot of
things along the way, both good and bad–that’s the nature of the
job–but I tried to learn from each experience. It helped to make
me a better person.”
