FEATURED PROGRAM
Global Engagement
The work of Trinity’s Department of Global Engagement is grounded in the School’s pledge to graduate young people abundantly ready to be informed, principled, and courageous global citizens. The School’s domestic and international Road Scholar courses begin in the exploratory imaginations of Trinity’s faculty members, from all three divisions, who understand that the study of every discipline is complete only when put into practice in our richly complex and diverse world. Global Engagement itineraries, curated by Trinity faculty for Trinity students, invite students to forge meaningful relationships with each other and with people and places they might never encounter. These are more than school trips; these are Trinity Road Scholar trips.
Recent trips include:
African Leadership Academy’s Global Scholars Program in South Africa
Astrophotography in Big Bend National Park, Texas
Jazz and Classical Music in France and Spain
Shakespeare in London and Stratford-on-Avon, England
