The highest body of student government at Trinity is the Trinity College Meeting (TCM), which operates as a direct democracy. Every student can bring forward motions, speak and vote at the TCM. The TCM and their meetings are run by elected-students TCM Executives. These executives are largely responsible for the day to day administrative duties of the TCM and send out regular meeting reminders, call for club and group budget proposals, and support student initiatives. The executives of the TCM also serve on the Trinity College Board and its committees as student representatives.

The TCM also works to create the social calendar of student events for the year (including the Saints and Conversat dances), reviews and amends student government documents, voices the general opinions of the student body, establishes and directs student clubs and holds annual student elections. Student government and governance documents and forms can be found on the student-managed TCM Linktree site.
There are six-elected student Heads representing undergraduate Arts & Science students and elected Divinity Heads representing Faculty of Divinity students who serve the College to make the student experience the best it can be. The Heads serve on the Trinity College Senate and its sub-committees. Working with other student leaders, the Heads help all students get and stay involved on campus. If you ever have any questions, connect with one of the Heads – they are a great resource of information and advice.
There are also a number of year reps and sub-committees of the TCM that provide opportunities for student leadership. Check out the links above or reach out to any of the elected leaders for more information about how you can get involved in student leadership.
