Outstanding Students Recognized in Each Major
 
HARTFORD, Conn. – Thirty-one Trinity seniors, each of whom has compiled an exemplary academic record during their three years at the College, have been named President’s Fellows for the 2008-09 academic year.

The Society of President’s Fellows was founded in 1974 to recognize outstanding student achievement in their respective majors. Membership in the Society consists of one academically accomplished senior in each major offered at Trinity.

The Fellows, who have been nominated by their departments or programs for this honor, meet four times each academic year with Trinity President James F. Jones, Jr., and various faculty members to discuss topics of interest. The final get-together in April is a dinner meeting.

In 1981-82, eight Fellows initiated The Trinity Papers, which is an annual journal of undergraduate scholarship. Six to 10 papers are usually deemed worthy of publication.
