Remembering when...

During personal conversations with the various alumni, it became obvious that their memories of being admitted to Trent exposed their fondness for the university and the many friends that were made during their undergraduate years.  The discussions also revealed their beliefs that they had gained an education of quality, which has allowed them to go forth and experience success and happiness.  They reflected upon getting into Trent as the beginning of something very meaningful.

So, the next time you find yourself singing along to an old favourite or reminiscing about good times, think about why those memories are important to you.  Sit for a moment and write up a quick email to the Alumni Association letting us know your thoughts.

It only seems fitting that as this issue of the magazine coincides with the 2007 Convocation, alumni are asked to submit their reflections about their graduation day.  What did it mean to you to walk across the podium to receive your degree?  Were you sad to be leaving the university?  Were you excited about your future prospects?  Was it the last time you saw a special person at Trent?  Why are those memories of your convocation important to you?  Submit your reflections to Trent Magazine at alumni@trentu.ca.  Look for the link entitled “Remembering When…”!
