Interested in learning more about partnering with Trinity faculty and students?<\/strong> Contact Erna Alic.<\/a>\u00a0Other contacts for Trinity-Hartford engagement can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We believe in:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Building relationships with partners where power and resources are shared<\/li>\n
  2. Relying on community partners\u2019 knowledge and understanding of local issues to determine the best methods for addressing community needs<\/li>\n
  3. Creating projects that reciprocally benefit community partners and Trinity students and faculty*<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Most of these partnerships begin with a Trinity course, where students work with community organizations either as individuals, in small groups, or as an entire class.<\/p>\n

    Partnerships generally fall into one of three categories:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Service:\u00a0<\/strong>Students assist in the day-to-day operations of an organization or with implementing a special program or project. They often serve as an extra pair of hands in getting your work done. Examples include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • In EDUC 200: Analyzing Schools, Trinity students work with a classroom teacher, helping their students to learn for three hours every week.<\/li>\n
    • In PSYC 246: Community Psychology, students work in youth support programs every week, participating in mentoring, tutoring, and other daily tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Products:\u00a0<\/strong>Students create a text (pamphlet, op-ed, white paper, research brief) or other product (video, infographic, map) based on an organization\u2019s need and with their guidance.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • In CACT 101: Envisioning Social Change, teams of students film and edit short promotional videos for their partners.<\/li>\n
      • In FORG 201: Data Visualization Internship Seminar, students partner with local organizations to create interactive charts and maps for their websites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Research:\u00a0<\/strong>Students work with community partners to design and implement research projects, ranging from data collection and analysis to program development and evaluation.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • In PBPL 351: Diversity in the City, students act as short-term research consultants to answer partners\u2019 questions through scholarly research, interviewing, and policy recommendations.<\/li>\n
        • In CLIC 400: Community Learning Research Fellows, students design and conduct a semester- or year-long research project a community partner, often as part of an independent study or senior thesis.
