Course Description:
The community engagement project may take many forms, such as collaborating with a health-related non-profit or advocacy group or creating a publicly available resource, such as a digital exhibition. This semester-long component must be health-related and have some connection to a local community as well as to a global context. The project may be connected to a course (such as a Liberal Arts Action Lab course, or other community engaged courses), an internship, or an extracurricular activity in which the student is already enrolled/involved. The project must extend beyond the usual scope and expectations of the course, internship, or activity. It may also be an independent project not related to any other activity. Students are permitted to work in pairs if they so choose. Students will be encouraged to collaborate with Trinity’s Center for Hartford Engagement and Research. All project proposals must be approved by the GHHG director(s). Students in the process of completing their projects will meet regularly with the GHHG director(s) and give a presentation of their work and our end-of-year event.
