Dwayne Collins ’01 and Stephen Stohn ’66.
Distinguished Alumnus Supports Student Media at Trent As one of the founders of Arthur newspaper and Trent Radio, distinguished alumnus Stephen Stohn ’66 recently provided gifts in support of further advancing media and the arts at Trent. Funds for a new digital archive project with the Arthur will create job opportunities for students and ensure that over 40 years’ worth of material will be available online. The project will ideally be completed by 2014, so alumni celebrating Trent’s 50th anniversary will have full access to old issues of Arthur. A second donation to Trent Radio has helped replace a broken transmitter at the community radio organization. Mr. Stohn, an entertainment lawyer, founding partner in Stohn Hay Cafazzo Dembroski Richmond LLP, and co-founder with Linda Schuyler of Epitome Pictures, producers of the Degrassi series, fondly remembers his time at Trent. Since the University had only been in existence for two years when he arrived, he and his fellow students were able to follow their passions and build student organizations from the ground up. Mr. Stohn was the one who gave Arthur its name, which is named after George Harrison’s haircut in the Beatles’ movie A Hard Day’s Night.
