The Center is pleased to announce the recipients of our second annual “Teaching for the Good Life” summer grants. Trinity faculty and staff were invited to apply for a week’s worth of funding for work that contributes to the Center’s mission, purpose, or guiding questions.
Recipients will gather at both the beginning and end of summer to discuss their projects and collaborate on how each project can impact the wider campus community.
