Alumni Support and Opportunity
Creating opportunities and connections to help Tigers pursue lives of meaning and purpose.
Alumni Career Engagement unit (ACE) is designed to create a supportive community, sparking opportunities and connections, helping Tigers continue a lifelong pursuit of perpetual discovery, inclusion, and purpose.
ACE programming offers a variety of professional development resources and programs working to support and enhance the career growth of Trinity alumni. Through a network of organic mentorship and guidance, we facilitate connections between current and future alumni across all programs, resources, and initiatives.
"What Makes a Tiger Roar" Podcast
Tigers are said to roar primarily to communicate with other tigers. Sometimes Tigers roar to attract attention and make other Tigers aware of the territory they have claimed. Sometimes it is to encourage younger tigers to try something new.
ACE is excited to launch “What Makes a Tiger Roar”, a new podcast where alumni identify the pivotal decisions in their lives, those proverbial fork-in-the-road moments that substantially contributed to their career journey and sense of self.
Hosted by Trinity Alumna and Emmy Award-winning journalist Kristin Fraser '91, the podcast features a new alumni conversation each month.
