+"The Fred" is a dormitory located in the [[summit_suites_east|Summit Suites East]] building, named in 2006 after Trinity English and Film Studies professor Fred Pfeil (//pronounced "file"//) following his untimely death to due to cancer in 2005. Pfeil's "pursuit of open-mindedness and intellectualism" was well-known, which is why students supported naming this project after him.
-The Fred was started as a community project in fall of 2006, following the passing of Fred Pfiel in 2005. Pfiel was a professor of English and Film Studies at Trinity. He was known for his open mindless and dedication to inclusivity and social change, so students named this project after him to continue his legacy and ideas.

Positions include community facilitator, event coordinator, advertising, and alumni liaison, to name a few. The dorm is also led by the Fred Constitution, which is used to aid the decisions of student leaders and to provide guidance for electing officers, conducting weekly meetings, and hosting activities and events.
