Common Hour is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15-1:30 p.m., during which time no classes are scheduled. Mather Hall and Dangremond Family Commons, Hallden Hall – North are the primary program locations. Attendance and reserving space is open to Trinity students, faculty, and staff.

In order to minimize conflicts and assure the largest attendance at Common Hour events and programs, we strongly suggest that programming follow the guidelines below:

The Thursday Common Hour should be reserved for lectures and speakers likely to cover the broadest topics with an appeal to more general audiences. The number of programs on any given Thursday should be kept to a minimum.

The Tuesday Common Hour should be designated for more specialized lectures, topics, and speakers that are likely to draw more targeted audiences. The Tuesday Common Hour can also be used for meeting times.

Community members interested in hosting a Tuesday or Thursday Common Hour should visit: reservations.trincoll.edu and campus events calendar, and/or connect with their department events liaison.

Note: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday also offers a Common Hour timeslot from 12:50 – 1:30 p.m., but programming should not be scheduled during these times.
