This year the [16th
annual Conference on Hunger and Homelessness] is being held at Trinity
College in Hartford… “By coming here you see that things can actually
get done,” said Christina Hawley, a sophomore at Trinity. “This helps
us realize that students are in this together. Students can take what
they learn here and bring it back to their campuses.” Trinity was
chosen in part because it is in a city that is grappling with poverty,
but also because of the enthusiasm of the students.

How can a professor
of philosophy get a new theory of consciousness across to the public?
Daniel Lloyd did it by writing a murder mystery… The true beauty of
“Radiant Cool” is that it has, however briefly, set Lloyd free from
the constraints of university life – the marking, teaching and
“endless” committee meetings – and allowed us, at the same time, a
glimpse of his brain at work. So is Lloyd a true polymath? Should
other science-based academics be rushing to their word processors to
begin the novels that will change everything for them and help the
rest of us see how profound the change has been? Only time will tell…

Pablo Delano,
associate professor of fine arts at Trinity College and director of
its photography program who lived in Manhattan from 1979 to 1996, says
much of subway graffiti was stunning in its beauty and
sophistication. The conflict was that the graffiti writers were
infringing on the public’s space, he says.

“We are now well
into the first year since the New Britain Superior Court approved an
agreement to fulfill the longstanding Sheff vs. O’Neill lawsuit
targeting racial and economic isolation of Hartford students. Sad to
say, results are already falling short of the mandated timetable.”

Gunderson, Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of American Business and
Economic Enterprise
