As Trinity continues to celebrate our founding 125 years ago, Cap and Gown Convocation invites all those with Senior Standing to participate in a presentation of seniors. Cap and Gown Convocation will take place on Saturday October 26, 2024 at 10:00am as part of Trinity’s Reunion Weekend! Seniors will gather with their regalia in O’Connor Auditorium at 9:00am.

At Cap and Gown, members of the senior class wear their caps and gowns for the first time and are officially recognized by Trinity as seniors. This important campus tradition dates back to when the very first class to graduate from Trinity, the Red Class of 1904, gathered in fall 1903.  During Cap and Gown Convocation the first year class officers are also presented with their Class Banner.

Eligible Seniors received an invitation email from Dr. Karen Gerlach and Dean Meechie Bowie.
