For Faculty: Hartford-based course content and activities

WHY include Hartford-based content and activities in your First Year Seminar course?

  • Embracing Trinity’s mission to engage, connect, and transform involves encouraging students to engage with not only the Trinity campus but our Hartford community as well.
  • FYSM goals include enabling students to reflect on different perspectives and become better citizens, and exploring Hartford is a great place to begin.
  • Encouraging students to explore Hartford as their home contributes to their development as first-year students, and is fun!
