The Digital Transformation Program will help Trinity University reach its goal of becoming a nationally recognized liberal arts university by improving our ability to use information, creating better and more valuable experiences for our students, faculty, staff and alumni.
This program will also assist us in automating the necessary but mundane, transactional daily activities so that we can invest our time and other resources in the most important and strategic things. Over time, this will have an enormous and positive impact.
