As the global community moves into the 21st century, the significance of educating a new generation of leaders and citizens equipped with the intellectual perspective and ecumenical knowledge of liberal learning is as important as any other time in history. The ability to think critically, to write and speak clearly, to make ethical judgments, to know the context of history and literature, to understand the fundamental economic and political forces affecting the psychology of whole peoples, these are the quantities essential to effective leadership in our ever-changing global environment. These are the hallmarks of a Trinity education in the liberal arts. Liberal learning at Trinity is enriched and enlarged by the resources of the nationÍs capital, from internships in Congressional offices or scientific laboratories to research at the Library of Congress to participation in classes at any of the major area universities through the Consortium of Universities. TrinityÍs commitment to liberal learning derives its ultimate meaning from the core identity of Trinity as a Catholic college. Beyond spiritual growth realized through theological studies and liturgies, the Trinity community also lives its faith through active service to people in need in Washington and around the country. TrinityÍs commitment to faith and liberal learning is also realized in the Honor System that governs all aspects of academic and co-curricular life on campus.
