President McGuire’s 50th Reunion Citation for the Class of 1972

Dear Trinity 1972 Classmates,

2022 marked 50 years since we said farewell to our friends and classmates under the Red Roof of Trinity College. Five decades later, many of us were able to return to campus for a phenomenal 50th Reunion Weekend on October 28-29, 2022!

Our Reunion Weekend coincided with the 125th anniversary of the founding of Trinity College and featured a week full of celebratory and educational events. It was a truly memorable and exciting time for the Class of ’72 and the entire Trinity community. Please look around our 1972 Class website where we will share some of the highlights.

It was wonderful seeing so many of your and we can’t wait to see you again soon!

Ginny, Mimi, Janet, Jill, Denise, Mary, Mary Ann, Maureen, Elizabeth, Francine, Ann Marie, Kathleen
