Trinity College’s Human Rights Studies, the first human rights program at a liberal arts college in the United States, is committed to excellence in the study and practice of human rights. The program seeks to foster critical debate about human rights problems, inter-disciplinary dialogue, and conversations that bridge the divide between local and global human rights concerns.
The program offers an unparalleled range of activities for an undergraduate institution: a strong human rights curriculum, summer internships at leading human rights organizations, as well as the opportunity to cross disciplinary boundaries and research cutting-edge human rights issues.
For its commitment to youth-driven service and youth development, Trinity College has received a $10,000 College Service Grant from The Allstate Foundation in collaboration with the Center for Expanding Leadership & Opportunity (CELO).
As part an overarching effort to tell a truer and fuller story of Trinity College’s history, the Primus Project recently released the first in a series of podcasts.
With a $10,000 Projects for Peace grant, Rebecca Irakiza ’25 worked last summer to provide better access to clean water in her home country of Burundi.
