Tyree Innovation Fellowship

The Tyree Innovation Fellowship is a two-year experience that helps students build practical skills in innovation, leadership, and problem solving through hands-on programming and mentorship.

The program is designed to equip Trinity students with the skills and mindset needed to develop innovative ideas and pursue entrepreneurial opportunities. Through a series of curated experiences, students build foundational skills in innovation, leadership, and problem solving that prepare them to succeed across a wide range of professional environments.

Through their participation in the program, students have the opportunity to complete the Innovation Certificate and the Entrepreneurship Certificate.

“We are focused on next-generation skills for students in their first and second years, so they can take advantage of them earlier in their college career, and on accelerating their opportunities for growth towards their post-college career.”
