The Bantam Network

The Bantam Network is at the heart of the Trinity student experience!

Designed by students for students, the Bantam Network helps students build their on-campus network of care. We do so by using a comprehensive Nest system. Through the Nests, students join a unique support system of Nest Advisors and Community Mentors encompassing staff, faculty, and peers. Students also engage in opportunities that foster their academic achievement and personal development, while building community and creating traditions that last a lifetime.

We guide students through their Trinity experience, from matriculation to graduation, and beyond!

Mission

About The Nests

The Network consists of 5 Nest pairings, each named after the College’s traditions and historical legacies. Students are placed into their Nest as they enter the College. They learn of their Nest placement during Convocation, one of our most celebrated ceremonies. Which Nest will you belong to?

Origins of The Bantam Network

Established five years ago as a mentoring program for first-year students, The Bantam Network was designed to connect students to individuals and resources that would deepen their college experience and ease their transition to college life.

Residential Learning Community

The Bantam Network Residential Learning Community provides an inclusive living and learning experience that fosters student development by connecting students, faculty, and staff beyond the classroom.
