Alumni Associations
ALUMN I ASSOCI AT IONS
Trinity Business and City Association by Ihab Makar (1979) As 2015 began, Trinity in the City (TCA) elected a new committee, and with it embarked on a new and exciting phase of its development. The Association took a major step forward by broadening its remit to welcome all Trinity alumni involved in any aspect of business, who had previously not been served by a college alumnus association despite being a substantial proportion of alumni. With it, the association changed its name from Trinity in the City Association (TCA) to Trinity Business and City Association (TBCA). At the same time, our events and services specifically for those in the City and financial sector will continue undiminished. Almost as soon as the change was announced, a substantial number of alumni in business joined the Association, and are continuing to join. Those in the business world wishing to join should simply email Mary Priddey at the Alumni Office at mp681@cam.ac.uk. The year began in style, with a ‘speaker meeting’ by the controversial former Greek Finance Minister (and uncontroversial former Trinity Lector in Economics), Yanis Varoufakis, who led the negotiations between Greece and the Troika over the summer. This attracted intense interest, and those who attended gave exceptional feedback. He gave a second talk in Cambridge, allowing alumni, Fellows, and undergraduates to mix, a key goal of ours. We hope this sets the bar of how we mean to continue.
The First & Third Trinity Association by David Jones (1958) Following the excellent Biennial Dinner in College in September 2014, the next such event is arranged for 17 September 2016. Details will follow on the website, but meanwhile please note the date and encourage others to come along. Those suitably motivated (and moderately fit) may enjoy rowing in the afternoon before the dinner. T R I N I T Y A N N UA L R ECOR D 2015 26
