An Inside Look at Trinity Now
Here is a look back at a Long Walk building classroom from before the historic structure was renovated. The project earned the Trinity treasure prestigious preservation honors from in-state organizations last year. Watch this short video to see the vast improvements that the Trinity community has been able to enjoy since.
Trinity College officially dedicated its gym floor for varsity basketball and volleyball as the “Stan Ogrodnik Court” prior to its home game against the Amherst College Lord Jeffs on Saturday, January 23. Ogrodnik, the most successful coach in Trinity College basketball history, was Trinity’s head men’s basketball coach for 27 seasons and compiled a 469-186 record that gives him one of the top 30 winning percentages (.717) among NCAA Division III coaches.

The Mill, Trinity’s student run art house on Vernon Street, officially opened its own art gallery last semester, on Friday, Nov. 13. Managed by Taylor Colantonio ’10 (pictured on the right above), the gallery featured a wide range of works from student artists. Sculptures and photographs sat alongside oil paintings, charcoal drawings and mixed media pieces in a carefully orchestrated manner exhibiting the professionalism and dedication by the members of the organization. The Mill has hosted a number of extremely successful events this year already, bringing in artists such as Yes Giantess, Das Racist and Boy Crisis, while also featuring student music groups such the Accidentals, and deejays Johnny Gaffney and Fadil Cantave.

Trinidad is one of seven study away programs that Trinity runs on its own, including Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Paris, Rome, and Vienna.

Jones, Jr., and His Honour Dr. Harold Robertson, Consul General of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in New York, acknowledged a growing relationship between the College and the thriving Caribbean islands in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
