COVID-19 Information

Information and resources for the Trinity community about the college’s response to COVID-19

As we have throughout the COVID pandemic, we are taking several actions to create the best possible living, learning, and working environment. In our decision-making on policies and procedures, we are guided by the following values and principles:

• Prioritize the health and well-being of our community by creating a safe learning, living, and working environment.
• Ensure the continued fulfillment of our academic mission and prioritizing the experiences that support it.
• Use guidance from medical and public health experts, including Hartford Healthcare and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as our own experience, to inform the college’s COVID-related protocols and policies.
• Empower and expect community members to take personal responsibility for their health, taking appropriate actions for themselves and others as part of a community.
• Keep the community informed with updates about our planning and any changes to operations and protocols.
