General History

Following public discussions during the 1998-99 academic year, the College of Humanities and Fine Arts determined to develop a Humanities Center in Trinity Hall beginning fall 1999. The college sees the center as a stimulus, focus, and home for interdisciplinary discourse, growth, and achievement in the humanities—the heart of a working intellectual community—and as a public venue for formal discussions, presentations, and celebrations of the humanities in the life of the university and of society and an inviting space for daily and periodic interchange among faculty.

The Humanities Center is led by a director in a two-year term chosen by the Humanties Center’s advisory board and approved by the dean and department chairs (after the initial director for 1999-00 and fall 2000 was chosen by the dean and department chairs).

An advisory board, of loosely ten HFA faculty representing the various departments (especially the five humanities departments), is chosen by the dean and existing advisory board (after the initial board in 1999-00 was chosen by the dean and department chairs), usually for two-year terms and occasionally for a one-year term.
