So much to celebrate this weekend!
This afternoon, our campus community gathered to honor Trinity’s 203rd Charter Day — a day early — with a beloved tradition: planting a new tree on the Main Quad. This year’s Yoshino Cherry Tree joins over 1,500 trees in our beloved campus arboretum.
A day rooted in tradition, community, and now, one more tree. 🌸🌳

“The small community at Trinity really gives you opportunities that you definitely do not have access to at other institutions. It’s been really helpful to be in a smaller environment where I can get attention from advisors and mentors in a meaningful way.”

"I said yes to everything when I got to Trinity because I wanted to make the most of every single moment I had here. Over time, all of those opportunities built my confidence and helped me grow into someone who’s more willing to share my energy, give back to other people, and leave things better than I found them.”
— Grace Fangmann ’26
