Welcome to Trinity College Class of 2030!
We are excited to welcome you to campus and the Trinity Community. Students also have an opportunity to participate in a Pre-Orientation program prior to NSO.
The Pre-Orientation Programs will create space for students to explore and connect. Through collaborative partnerships across campus, the Pre-Orientation Programs are rooted in efforts to foster awareness, care, connection, conversations, and experiences as a community.
The P.R.I.D.E.

Students who join the Summit-to-Success (S2S) Scholars program will get a jump-start on how the most successful students navigate college.
