NOTES
HOMECOMING 2021 Last fall, we were unable to have the reunion classes of ’0s and ’5s back to campus for Homecoming. That doesn’t mean that the celebration won’t still happen! We will have double the fun this fall and celebrate the Classes of ’0s and ’5s AND ’1s and ’6s. A date for the Oyster Roast and Alumni Reunions has not yet been determined, but we are ready and excited to celebrate this fall. If you’d like to serve as a Class Chair for your reunion to help gather your classmates together, contact alumni relations associate Julia Bowling at juliabowling@trintiyes.org.
