New director of development
Gretchen Orschiedt has joined the College as director of development.
She is responsible for directing Trinity’s senior development management
team.
Orschiedt has come to Trinity from Cornell University, where her 10-year development career included serving as individual gift officer and as director of external relations for one of Cornell’s separate schools/divisions. Prior to that, she held admissions positions at Cornell, Ithaca College, and Wells College, respectively, beginning her career at her alma mater, Wells, in 1984.
Vice President for College Advancement Ron Joyce says, “We were fortunate to recruit Gretchen from Cornell. She’s smart, experienced, and a great gift strategist. She is coming at just the right moment to help Trinity and our Cornerstone Campaign.”
Great new way to zip around
This
September, in order to provide new transportation options to students,
faculty, staff, and alumni and reduce parking congestion on campus,
Trinity welcomed the car-sharing program Zipcar. The first of its kind
in the Greater Hartford area, Zipcar members can rent the cars for $8 an
hour or $65 a day, including gas, maintenance, and insurance. Zipcar is
North America’s largest on-campus car-sharing program, with more than 90
partners in the United States and Canada.
