More than 1,500 guests came to campus for the joint Reunion Weekend and Alumni Bicentennial Celebration held June 8\u201311, 2023. This combination weekend celebrated the classes ending in 3s and 8s while also welcoming alumni from every class year to mark Trinity\u2019s Bicentennial.<\/p>\n

Traditional Reunion events were observed and enjoyed, with Friday night class dinners in locations around the College bringing together classmates from the 5th through 65th Reunions. Each class also held an event designed to reunite friends and to provide an opportunity for catching up on life since the last Reunion. These class-specific events included lawn games and wine tastings, as well as an open invitation for all alumni to attend \u201c50 Years Later: A Retrospective Roundtable with the Class of 1973.\u201d This talk was especially significant as the Class of 1973 was the first fully coeducational class at Trinity.<\/p>\n

The Alumni Bicentennial Celebration (ABC) held alongside Reunion Weekend created a once-in-a-lifetime moment on campus. Special programming commemorating the anniversary was centered around the Bicentennial theme of \u201cCommitted to the future since 1823,\u201d demonstrating the College\u2019s dedication to tomorrow while reflecting on its incredible history. Panels included \u201cThe Art and Business of Film and TV,\u201d featuring Will McCormack \u201996, Stephanie Ritz \u201990, Stephen Gyllenhall \u201972, and Billy Lazarus \u201993, and \u201cThe Role of Sports in Modern Society,\u201d featuring Billy Hogan \u201996, CEO of the Liverpool Football Club; Sam Kennedy \u201995, H\u201919, president and CEO of the Boston Red Sox; and Mimi MacKinnon \u201904, former director of the commissioner\u2019s office of the National Football League. A program with Pulitzer Prize-winner George F. Will \u201962, H\u201979 was a highlight of the weekend, as he shared his views on the future of baseball while in conversation with fellow Pulitzer Prize-winner Bill Marimow \u201969, H\u201916.<\/p>\n

The weekend hit its high point with Saturday night\u2019s Bantam Birthday Bash. A dinner and dance party on the Main Quad\u2014complete with cake and a samba rendition of \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d\u2014officially marked Trinity\u2019s 200th birthday. The ABC concert headlined by Grammy Award-nominated singer Aloe Blacc had attendees on their feet, and the evening capped off with fireworks and a DJ set that stretched until midnight. Sunday morning saw a final breakfast and a fond farewell to all attendees.<\/p>\n

The ABC marked just one of many events planned during the celebration year, including a film series at Cinestudio, Bicentennial athletic contests and receptions, and symposia in November and February. Please visit trincoll-staging.trincoll.edu\/Bicentennial<\/a> for up-to-date information.<\/p>\n
