Learning new traditions …
You might say Lovington Nonyi is having an enlightening experience. A student of the College of Transfiguration in Grahamstown, South Africa, he is here on exchange in the Faculty of Divinity until April, when he returns home with the hope of being ordained as a priest. Nonyi says his studies have been very valuable so far; the role women play in Canada in matters of faith has particularly captured his attention since their role is the “direct opposite of the context that I come from.”
This kind of exchange program is just one example of many ongoing and exciting programs at Trinity College that serve to connect the people and traditions of the world, and help to broaden the perspectives of Trinity students.
In the spirit of connecting and tradition, Trinity and Massey College recently co-hosted the annual Citizenship Ceremony. At the ceremony, new Canadians were welcomed into the country’s large family, and asked to accept the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Provost Andy Orchard gave a moving speech at the lovely morning event, held in Seeley Hall.
The Office of the Dean of Students, along with the Registrar’s Office and the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, held a special event of their own last week to bring together students and alumni to officially launch the new incarnation of the mentorship program at Trinity College. Please check our website for upcoming mentorship events.
and celebrating old ones …

Trinity College Archives,
William McMurray fonds F2051. |
As part of a project to create a database of all the photographs in the Trinity College Archives, we recently came across a box of cartes de visites, collected by the Rev. William McMurray (1810 – 1894) during his trip to England in 1864 to fundraise for Trinity. These cartes, albumin portrait prints mounted on boards, were used as calling cards in Victorian England. The Rev. McMurray collected them from those who gave money to the College.
Trinity has always received an abundance of support through the kindness and generosity of others. That tradition continues powerfully today as many alumni and friends of Trinity make financial contributions to bolster our academic programs and student services. Please consider a gift in support of the College – to learn more or to make a gift online, please visit www.trinityfund.ca.
