A gathering in cyberspace! Classes originally slated to celebrate their Reunions last year got together online June 10\u201313 for Trinity\u2019s Virtual Reunion Weekend. Alumni representing seven decades of Trinity\u2019s history came together for 20 events during the course of the weekend, including class-specific functions organized by Reunion Planning Committees and All-Reunion speaking programs and on-demand contests. Classes originally slated to gather in 2021 also were invited to join in on the fun in advance of planning for joint in-person festivities with the classes celebrating in June 2022.<\/p>\n

Bantams logged on from 27 states and six countries to take part in the weekend, which featured the expertise of alumni across numerous industries and current and retired faculty members. Alumni competed in a Virtual Reunion 5K and Virtual Reunion Trivia Contest, connected with one another in virtual class lounges, and more!<\/p>\n
