While the Trinity College charter vested the legal authority and responsibility for the college in the Board of Trustees, governance of the college is shared among many constituencies. Faculty, staff, and students have important roles to play in planning and decision-making, and their work, together with that of the administration and board, moves us steadily toward our vision for the future of the college. This sense of partnership and shared values has allowed Trinity College to consistently achieve ever-greater excellence.
