Convocation and Matriculation Welcome New Students and a New Academic Year
Trinity College opened its 203rd academic year on September 3, 2026, when new students, their families, and members of the Trinity community gathered in the Ferris Athletic Center’s Ray Oosting Gymnasium for Convocation and Matriculation. In his charge to the incoming students, President Daniel G. Lugo said that the hard work of learning is not merely the work of finding an answer. “It is the work of becoming someone who enjoys and is capable of meeting a difficult question, someone who can closely examine and leverage evidence, make connections… someone who can adapt, fail, fail again—and begin again,” he said.
