 The Community Action Gateway Program is specifically focused on the City of Hartford with a curriculum designed to facilitate community-based research and social change projects for first-year students interested in experiential learning in their local community. The program consists of one course per semester in a student’s first year, providing a comprehensive overview of theories of social change and community action and giving students the opportunity to develop and implement a social change project in the City of Hartford.
-Introduced in 2019, the Global Health Humanities Gateway (GHHG) is a three-semester program specializing in the interdisciplinary approach to the social, political, and cultural contexts of health care. The arts and sciences are studied in tandem in this program, providing students with valuable cultural understanding alongside analytically rich knowledge about health care systems around the world. Developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the program saw application numbers skyrocket as students increasingly understood first-hand the ways in which public health policy, science, culture, and class differences are inextricably intertwined when it comes to international health crises. Co-director of GHHG Erin Frymire states, “Global health humanities is an emerging field of study of the human experience of health in response to increasing recognition that health and health care are so much more than just science.” The first semester focuses on the role of art, music, and literature in representations of illness, health, and caregiving. The second semester connects students to the Hartford community with experiential learning opportunities to explore health science locally. The third semester can consist of either a semester-long independent project or studying abroad.

 The Humanities Gateway, formerly known as Guided Studies, focuses on the key themes and problems of human society through the lenses of literature, history, philosophy, and religion. Originally implemented as an experimental program in Fall 1979, the program was inspired by a 1976 faculty symposium called “The Search for Values in the Modern World: Interdisciplinary Lessons from the 19th Century.” Four of the participants--Professor of Philosophy Drew Hyland, Associate Professor of Religion Frank Kirkpatrick, Assistant Professor of History Samuel Kassow, and Professor of English Milla Riggio--worked with Dean of Studies J. Ronald Spencer to give curricular form to the cross-disciplinary approaches developed in the symposium. The result was the Guided Studies Program, which after a three year trial period was approved by the Curriculum Committee to continue as a part of the College curriculum. The program is rooted in the importance of the skills that make up the liberal arts student: the ability to think critically, synthesize complex ideas into effective arguments, and communicate skillfully in writing and verbal communication. Over the course of their first year at Trinity, Humanities Gateway students take a series of four thematically linked seminars with a rotating area of focus, co-taught by professors from across the Humanities departments.
