In honor of the courageous founders of Trinity College,
the entire Trinity community participated in a day full
of fun and celebratory events on Thursday, April 18.
A Trinity tradition that dates back to the first academic
year in the spring of 1901, the day included a Founders'
Day prayer service, a BBQ Picnic Lunch and the annual
Maypole Dance in Seymour
Court. Other festivities included caricatures, volleyball,
a faculty/staff vs. students Tug-o-War
(faculty/staff won!), and a lively
softball game. The day ended with a special awards
dinner honoring students' academic and service achievements,
and Founders' Day remarks by President Patricia McGuire.
This year, a special "Topping Off" celebration
took place in front of the Trinity Center for Women
and Girls in Sports construction site. During a construction
project, it is a tradition to have a "topping off"
celebration when the highest and last beam is welded
into place. In honor of this event, Trinity students,
athletes, faculty and staff gathered to raise the U.S.
and College flag, marking a very important milestone
for Trinity and for the Trinity Center.
