Dorm Wars Start Tomorrow!

Events No Comments »

Who? Every member of every dorm on campus! Each dorm plays for itself, winning dorm gets the prize (and bragging rights). Don’t worry, energy counts are done per person, so all dorms are on an even playing field.

What? A dorm energy competition to use the least amount of energy possible. Energy use will be counted by % decrease (from the previous week). Tips on how to save energy are posted below. Creative team strategy is encouraged.

When? Monday, November 9th at noon until Saturday, November 14 at noon. That means Friday’s room parties should all happen in the dark…

Where? Energy use in each dorm is counted specifically for that dorm.

Why? Because our campus is going green!

How? Energy meters were installed recently in each dorm, so now we have the technology to do this. Below is the info for accessing the metering website so you can monitor the energy use of each dorm during the battle.

Prize? FREE T-SHIRTS to members of the winning dorm, and, of course, the satisfaction of being champions.

West African Percussion Class @ Alchemy Juice Bar

Events No Comments »

There’s a new class starting this week at Alchemy Juice Bar (201 New Britain Avenue, right across the street from campus):

West African Percussion with Aaron Greenberg
Wednesdays @ 7pm
$8 for students (with school ID)

This class will explore the rich and sophisticated percussion ensemble music of West Africa; in particular that which was first devised in the time of the Mali Empire, and continues to be played today in the nations we now know as Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Cote D’Ivoire, and Burkina Faso. West African music is by nature vibrant and exuberant, full of laughter and joy. This class caters to all levels and will be helpful to you whatever your goals with the drums may be. Serious students of music who approach this class with diligence, dedication, and a penchant for exhaustive practice can expect a greatly enhanced fluency on the djembe and dununs, the ability to make the drums speak and sing (and to make others dance). More casual players who approach this class with an open mind, ready hands, and a smile can expect to make a lot of new friends, learn some of the funkiest rhythms ever to funk a funk, and generally have a lot more fun than they ever thought could fit into a Wednesday evening!

The mission of Trinity College’s Safe Zone program is to create a more hospitable and welcoming environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual,transgender,questioning/queer and intersex (g/l/b/t/q/i) individuals on Trinity’s campus by creating safe spaces for this community to seek information, resources and open-minded people. Part of a national project, Trinity’s Safe Zone program was initiated by the Women & Gender Resource Action Center(WGRAC) in Spring, 2000. Over 300 faculty, staff, administration and students have participated in Safe Zone trainings, and display a Safe Zone sticker on their office/dorm door.

KING CORN Film Screening

Events No Comments »

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

5 PM, McCook Auditorium


King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the East Coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, nitrogen fertilizers, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most productive, most subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat and how we farm.

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Bothered by some of the things you hear around campus?

Looking for ways to respond or intervene?

If so, consider attending a Common Hour that will create dialogue around the effects of derogatory language on individuals as well as the campus community as a whole.
