Trinity students chosen as 2008 Arthur Vining Davis Summer Fellows

Nineteen students have completed projects as research or community fellows in a 10-week summer program supported by the Arthur Vining Davis Institute for Urban and Global Studies. The goal of the program is to integrate Trinity’s urban and global learning into its undergraduate curriculum. The program also is intended to help students develop skills that will serve them in the classroom, engage them in the urban environment of Hartford, link Hartford with cities throughout the world, and prepare them to study abroad, should they choose to do so.

Each Davis Fellow received a $3,500 stipend and housing at Trinity for 10 weeks. The students also attended weekly lectures and panel discussions.

Ten of the students were research fellows; nine were community fellows. The research fellows worked with faculty mentors on projects that focused on urban and global issues that benefit both the student and the faculty member. Community fellows did outreach or completed a community-based project.
