History
Since the class of 1904, Trinity has prepared its students to become leaders of character, passionate intellectuals excited about their future.
Always welcoming to people of all faiths, Trinity was founded as a Catholic women’s college by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1897. These nuns believed that women should have the same opportunity to experience the empowerment of higher education at a time when many schools only accepted men.
While remaining true to its original mission, Trinity began accepting men into its evening and weekend programs during the 1960s.
Today’s students, participate in many unique traditions that root their academic experience in a culture unique to Trinity. For instance, each graduating class is given a color, either red (like the class of 1904), green, blue, or yellow. Throughout the year, flags, banners, and even students bedecked in one of these hues, demonstrate class pride and a sense of togetherness.
