Each year we honor a small number of people who have made enduring contributions to society and the world through their personal and professional endeavors.
Trinity Class of 1980
Doctor of Humane Letters
Lamont will speak during 2025 Commencement on Sunday, May 18, at 11:00 a.m. on the Main Quad. Among those receiving honorary degrees are Shabana Basij-Rasikh, School of Leadership Afghanistan co-founder and president, and renowned cancer researcher Joseph M. Connors ’69.
Trinity’s 198th Commencement on Sunday, May 19, presented degrees to 559 students in the Class of 2024. Award-winning restaurateur Danny Meyer ’80, P’20, who also received an honorary degree, encouraged the graduates to "thoughtfully engage in solving some really tough problems."
Some of this year’s graduates reflect on their most memorable academic and extracurricular experiences, how the College prepared them for what comes next, and their advice for current and future Trinity students.
