 Milia Riggio, James J. Goodwin Professor of English, was the program coordinator for the Trinidad site. Riggio's work in Trinidad during the 1990s led to a shift in her research interests toward festivals like Carnival, and inspired her to bring the Trinity in Trinidad Global Site to fruition. The first version of the program was a course she taught at Trinity in 1997 with Academic On-Site Director, filmmaker and playwright Tony Hall called "Festival and Drama," in which she brought students for a short time to Trinidad to experience Carnival. Later, the program expanded to include music, Caribbean civilization, theater and performance, community arts and media, and Hindu and Muslim religions in Trinidad.
-Eventually, the program expanded further to enable students with a diverse array of interests to take classes on engineering, Caribbean society, culture, economy, ecology and biology, politics, and arts and music. Students had the opportunity to work closely with local cultural and political leaders such as Tony Hall, Lloyd Best and Ravi Ji, as well as scientists, engineers, and filmmakers through intensive internships, independent studies, and community service. Students also had the opportunity to participate in Trinidad's famous festivals, including Ramleela in the fall and Carnival in the spring. Notable alumna and singer Rachel Platten '03 studied abroad through Trinity in Trinidad and took music lessons while there.

 The close partnership between Trinity and UWI through Trinity in Trinidad resulted in the building of the "UWI-Trinity House" on UWI's campus in the 2010s. The building served as a physical representation of the two institutions' academic relationship and collaboration.
