Advisory Services

The Graduate Studies Program offers counseling to its students, both in matters relating to academic pursuits and to more individual concerns. In keeping with its liberal arts focus, Trinity College attempts to relate the academic interests of students to their individual, vocational, and personal requirements. Upon acceptance as a Master's degree candidate, each graduate student is assigned a faculty adviser, who assists in the planning of the academic program. In addition, Nancy Birch Wagner, the Director of Graduate Studies, and Mrs. Marilyn Brazil, the program's Administrative Assistant, are available for consultation throughout the year and may be reached at (860) 297-2527.
