Undergraduate Fellows/Editorial Assistants
Each year, two-to-three Trinity undergraduates serve as the Center's Student Fellows over the course of a semester or academic year. It is an opportunity to work closely with the Center's director on projects ranging from proofreading books for publication to updating the Center's website. They also attend our monthly seminars, and have an opportunity to help arrange conferences and lectures with some of the most respected scholars in the fields of religion in public life, politics, journalism, and climate change.
We are not seeking new Fellows in 2023-2024 as we search for the Greenberg Center’s next director.
