Trinity University Humanities Collective

“Part of why we support the humanities and the liberal arts is because they are how we build up a citizenry that really is capable of engaging with major issues and problems in our country,” O’Rourke says. “This is something that O’Neil Ford, going all the way back to his commencement speech in 1967, was also thinking about: big issues of civil rights and environmental preservation. In his speech, he talked about Trinity as a place for expressing difference, being different and embracing difference. Ford actually referred to [Trinity] as the ‘university of positive, progressive protest.’ And so when I talk about the campus, I really emphasize his links between architecture and social issues, because he engaged with civic matters, which we prepare our students to do as well.”
