“I am truly pleased that we are partnering with Trinity College, an institution which has done significant work and research in areas of culture and the arts (particularly Trinidad’s culture and art forms). This partnership will allow us to leverage our influence together, to engage other third parties including cultural organizations, governments and non-governmental organizations in Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean region, the United States, the world over. We are positive that our collaboration will result in positive benefits for the students and staff of Trinity College and The UWI; Trinity College of Hartford, Connecticut, has had a long presence in Trinidad via its “Trinity in Trinidad” programme which affords opportunities for students and staff from Trinity and its affiliates to spend time in Trinidad on exchanges, academic visits and other forms of in-country immersion. The programme is currently housed at a rented residential facility on the periphery of The UWI St. Augustine Campus. “Trinity in Trinidad” students have attended classes at The UWI as part of their academic programme and they have also participated in co-curricular activities alongside UWI students in sports, arts and other related areas. Students of the programme have stayed at UWI St. Augustine campus’ Residence Halls. Selected UWI staff have also collaborated with the college by teaching “Trinity in Trinidad” courses on behalf of Trinity College. This collective space will include teaching, research, library, display and outreach facilities as well as limited accommodation for visiting Trinity Faculty. |
