Trinity College Names Recipients of Faculty Honors for Spring 2026
Trinity College has named the students with outstanding academic achievement who have earned Faculty Honors for the spring 2026 semester.
Empowering the community through Haitian folkoric and contemporary arts was the focus of a recent visit to Trinity College by Boston-based dance company Jean Appolon Expressions.
The dance company presented a trio of works as part of a multi-day residency at Trinity exploring themes of personal and historical traumas, healing, resilience, and imagination. Founded by its namesake, Jean Appolon Expressions describes its work as an “artistic vernacular that educates audiences about Haitian culture, traditions, history, and current issues.”
As part of the residency week, dancer-scholar Dasha Chapman worked with students in courses taught by Rebecca Pappas, associate professor of theater and dance, and Eric Galm, professor of music.
The visit to Trinity College coincided with Echoes and Collision: The Art of Frantz Patrick Henry in Conversation with Selections from the Edith A. Graham Collection of Haitian Art, on view in the Widener Gallery through April 30, 2025.
