====== Cultural Houses ======

The cultural houses on Trinity's [[summit_campus|campus]] are comprised of the Asian American Student Association (AASA) House, La Eracra, and the Umoja House. These houses are located on [[vernon_street|Vernon Street]] and have served the students of the College for over 20 years. These houses were created to support and celebrate the multicultural communities on campus. These houses have various uses, including serving as the meeting place for student organizations, hosting campus events, and acting as a safe place for students in need of support and guidance. Cultural house coordinators (CHCs) live in each house and oversee the programming of all in-house events, welcome the student body to the house, and represent their respective houses on the Multicultural Affairs Council.
