Welcome to Trinity Graduate School!

We are so glad you have chosen to pursue your studies at Trinity. We want to make sure you have all the resources you need to be successful in graduate school, and New Student Orientation is an important part of your preparation. Each graduate program has its own orientation that is particularly tailored to the needs of that program. Your Program Director will contact you regarding the specifics of your orientation. Blessings as you begin this new chapter in your life!
