All community members are invited to be part of a yearlong celebration kicking off on May 5, 2023. Since Trinity\u2019s early years in the heart of Hartford, the college\u2019s story has been and continues to be one of resilience, innovation, critical thinking, service, action, and pride. The people who have walked the Long Walk have brought energy into a world that is fueled by a liberal arts education. Our commitment to make this earth a better place has been true since 1823.<\/p>\n

Come back to Summit Street. Gather your campus memories, and prepare to make new ones. Your story is that of this community, and it\u2019s time we tell our communal story together. Connect with the people, places, and education that define who we are and our place in history.<\/p>\n
