Presidential Advisers
The Presidential Advisers is a select group of alumni leaders distinguished by significant, sustained service and commitment to Trinity College.
The group was established in 2015 in partnership with the Chair of the Board of Trustees Cornelia Parsons Thornburgh ’80 and Trustee Emeritus Douglas T. Tansill ’61, P’91,’96. Given their long-standing relationship with their alma mater, Advisers serve as effective and knowledgeable ambassadors for the college. Their primary role is to counsel the president on matters of strategic importance, informed by their professional backgrounds and particular perspectives on the college. Through their service, Advisers preserve and enhance the excellence of Trinity College.
