Please join the Community Learning program in celebrating the Trinity College faculty who will be part of the 2021-22 Community Learning Faculty Fellows program! This program introduces faculty to community engagement pedagogy and supports them in designing a Community Learning component to be taught in an upcoming course. This year, 6 fellows will receive a stipend to participate in seven one-hour meetings during the academic year. We will discuss best practices for partnering with community organizations, hear from experienced community learning instructors, and workshop plans for their courses.

Spearheaded by the Southside Institutions Neighborhood Alliance (SINA) and Trinity College, the Learning Corridor brought together the Trinity College Boys and Girls Club and four schools - the Hartford Montessori School, Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, Greater Hartford Academy of Math and Science, and Hartford Magnet Middle School (which would become Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy - or HMTCA - in 2011).

This Spring, the 2020-21 cohort produced outstanding work in partnership with Mutual Aid Hartford, the Connecticut Hall of Change, NARAL Pro-Choice CT, and the YWCA Hartford.

We are pleased to announce the following recipients of the Community Service and Civic Engagement Honors Day Awards, as we recognize the contributions of all students to the office this year.
