Some schools forge change out in the community, some invite members of the community onto campus. Under the leadership of President Evan Dobelle, Trinity College has fused these twin models. In partnership with Hartford residents and local and national organizations from the public and private sector, Trinity has begun the development of a new joint college and neighborhood campus. The Learning Corridor is a geographic center for neighborhood revitalization with a special focus on improved education and housing opportunities. President Dobelle describes the partnership as a chance to do collectively what we [universities] do best individually: serving, educating, and empowering people.
