Welcome to Trinity College Class of 2029!
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. Welcome Weekend is a three-day program primarily designed to help students from underrepresented backgrounds/identities (e.g. racial/ethnic, international, sexual orientation, and gender identity) become acquainted with the campus and make a successful transition to Trinity’s academic and social environment.
Students who join the Summit-to-Success (S2S) Scholars program will get a jump-start on how the most successful students navigate college, including practicing life design and creative problem-solving skills, developing an individualized success plan, and engaging in weekly 1×1 life design coaching with a member of our professional coaching team. Together, we’ll help you see how your present self can become your future self, connect the dots, and develop a plan to get there!
This year’s 7-day participants will backpack and canoe in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of New York. Participants will become familiar with all the wilderness skills necessary to live comfortably in nature. Groups of 5–8 incoming students and their student instructors will travel to new camping locations each day hiking trails, floating down rivers or paddling across pristine lakes.
Students in the 3-day IIE program will experience multiple field trips to explore innovation around Hartford, including planned visits to Raytheon Technologies Research Center where you can stand inside a jet engine and see space suits from Apollo while learning about the latest cool innovations and inventions driving our aerospace programs today, and a behind-the-scenes look at the engineering and invention that powers amusement park rides – visiting Six Flags New England to see them in action.
Trinity’s Career & Life Design Center will lead a highly engaging and interactive program designed to prepare new, first-generation students— the first in their family to complete a four-year college degree — for a successful transition to college.
The Elizabeth Elting Foundation Venture Conference is a three-day leadership conference for women’s leadership development. Students will have an opportunity to get to know future classmates through sessions on team building, strengths assessment, and leadership exercises.
