Along the Walk

Showstopping fireworks fall over the statue of Trinity College founder Bishop Thomas Church Brownell during Reunion Weekend 2022. The Saturday evening light show capped a full day of Reunion events in addition to the pandemic-postponed 2020 Commencement ceremony.

We recently had the distinct pleasure of welcoming the Class of 2026. As it is every year, when the newest class matriculates at Trinity College, they join ready to cultivate their curiosity and to choose a path, sometimes circuitous, that will lead them for the next four years and beyond.
