Trinity Alumni & Friends Annual Gathering in New York 

Join us at The Grolier Club this March for a convivial evening of connection and networking with your fellow alumni. The highlight of the evening will be a dynamic conversation on the vital role libraries play in an uncertain world, featuring a panel of distinguished speakers. Together, they’ll delve into how libraries strengthen democratic life, shape informed citizenship and protect access to knowledge, as well as addressing the influence of AI on modern libraries. 

The talk will be followed by a networking reception, with wine and light refreshments. It’s a fantastic chance to get the inside scoop on all things Trinity while reconnecting with fellow graduates and building new links across the New York alumni community. 

This free event is open to all Trinity alumni and friends, but spaces are limited, so we encourage you to register today. Please note that advance registration is required to gain entry. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
