A vision of the highest order
A bold investment in a storied legacy
From the beginning, the spirit of higher education at Trinity University has been experiential, rigorous, and intrepid.
Since our founding, Trinity and our people have envisioned and seized opportunities before anyone else. We’ve been unafraid to make the bold choices that revolutionize industries and change lives for the better. Today, society stands at a new frontier of what’s possible. And it begins at Trinity University.
Campaign Goals
Trinity seeks to build a culture of philanthropy and community critical for success now and in the future through three goals in philanthropy, alumni participation, and alumni engagement.
-
Supporting scholarships directly impacts lives, empowering students to bring learning to life.
Trinity will attract exceptional students, enrich the campus community, and position our institution for national recognition centered on student success.
-
Cultivating future donors strengthens Trinity’s long-term success.
Increased participation shows community support, attracting philanthropists and enhancing institutional prestige. It also strengthens Trinity’s long-term success.
-
Increasing the number of engaged alumni amplifies Trinity's national reputation.
Involved alumni are more likely to stay engaged, volunteer, advocate, and amplify Trinity.
Campaign Leadership
The Campaign Executive Committee is a distinguished group of alumni leaders who champion Our Time across the country, sharing Trinity’s story, providing feedback and direction to the University, inspiring participation, and helping connect donors with the campaign’s priorities.
Representing industries and communities across the country, committee members provide strategic guidance, inspire philanthropic investment, and champion Trinity’s vision for access, opportunity, and excellence.
