The Writing Center
The writing center provides help with all kinds of writing, from the first critiques assigned in first-year seminars to senior theses and admissions essays for graduate and professional schools.
Visiting Assistant Professor in the Allan K. Smith Center for Writing in Rhetoric Alex Helberg teaches RHET 125 “Writing for a Digital World,” where students seek to understand the influence of digital technologies on writing and communication practices. Borrowing from rhetorical theory on concepts like genre, discourse communities, intertextuality, and rhetorical ecologies, Helberg teaches students how to write for public audiences through a Community Learning podcast project in partnership with Hartford Food System and Healthy Hartford Hub (HHH).Supporting Trinity’s International Students
To help ease the transition to living and studying on an American campus, a pilot program introduced in fall 2019 in Trinity’s Allan K. Smith Center for Writing and Rhetoric connects first-year international students with mentors who provide academic and social support.
