This September marked the one-year anniversary of Trinity University’s Alumni Career Engagement (ACE) Office. In just 12 months, ACE has made a lasting impact by providing valuable professional development resources and programs to support and empower Trinity alumni.
Through one-on-one career coaching, the inaugural Young Alumni Summit, a professional LinkedIn networking group, career readiness clinics, personal finance education cohorts, and peer-to-peer alumni connections, ACE is equipping Tigers with the tools to thrive beyond their time on campus.
To launch its programming, ACE partnered with Greene and Associates, Inc., an organizational resilience company founded by Barbara A. F. Greene P’10, P’14. Together, ACE and Greene and Associates, Inc., are helping alumni navigate career transitions, whether due to job changes, caregiving responsibilities, or the pursuit of new opportunities.
Alumni are already feeling the impact of ACE’s initial offerings. After joining ACE’s financial education cohort, Trinity Alumni Association Board Director Tahlar Rowe ‘18 shared: “As an alum, this course made me feel valued; it made me feel like the University is still concerned about our well-being. The classes, particularly on budget setting, loans, insurance, and retirement planning, were so helpful for me. Sometimes we assume that we have it all together, but the more you know, the more you can grow!”
ACE is also creating new opportunities for alumni to connect around industry insights and shared identities. In Fall 2025, ACE partnered with business faculty to host the second annual Real Estate Forum as well as a dinner for alumni professionals in finance. These events sparked dialogue about workforce trends, fostered community within these industries, and strengthened learning networks among Tigers.
ACE is currently strengthening its digital presence to expand its reach and impact. The team will soon launch a monthly blog with LinkedIn tips, job search strategies, and program updates, along with a podcast, What Makes a Tiger Roar?, where alumni will share stories of leadership, innovation, learning, and resilience.
With its first milestone year complete, ACE is just getting started. Upcoming initiatives include the second annual Young Alumni Summit on April 11, 2026, additional career readiness clinics with regional alumni clubs, and an expanded partnership with Greene and Associates, Inc. to include group coaching for addressing today’s volatile job market.
Together, ACE’s programs and resources will ensure Trinity alumni remain supported, empowered, and connected at every stage of their careers.
