Student Alumni Ambassadors
The Alumni Ambassadors is a student organization that is managed through the Alumni Office. The Alumni Ambassadors are a group of Trinity students that represent all four class years and serve as student liaisons for the college at alumni events both on and off campus. However, the Ambassadors are not limited in this capacity. The Ambassadors serve as stewards for the Student Annual Fund and can also be ambassadors for the college in non-alumni events. The Alumni Ambassadors are also responsible for organizing and implementing at least one on campus event a year to serve as a bridge between the students of college and its alumni.
