JP Burlington \u201995 returned to Trinity-Pawling to lead the Office of Admission in 2015. \u201cDriving through the School gates in 2015 was just as exciting as it was nearly 25 years before, when I arrived as an eager ninth-grader from New Jersey,\u201d recalls Burlington. The four years he spent as a student at Trinity-Pawling made a tremendous impact on Burlington. \u201cThis is what motivates me to travel the world and share my experiences with other young men. As so many of us know firsthand, there is no better place for boys to reach their potential than at Trinity-Pawling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The admissions team seeks young men who not only wish to excel academically, but who also want to attain new levels of success and self-awareness at every level \u2014 as leaders, friends, athletes, global citizens, and good men. \u201cTrinity-Pawling is a community that values and inspires all those attributes,\u201d says Burlington. An ethos of effort is one example of how these attributes are instilled in students. \u201cMany alumni describe the meaningful role that the Effort System has played in their lives. I want as many boys as possible to encounter this experience for themselves,\u201d says Burlington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since joining Trinity-Pawling as the Director of Admission, Burlington and his team have implemented many changes that have improved the admission process for families, including streamlining our web and print communications. \u201cOne thing that hasn\u2019t changed is our need for enthusiastic ambassadors and advocates \u2014 alumni and parents who understand the impact of our distinctive academic programs, the strength of the brotherhood, and just how transformative this community can be.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
