The excitement of Trinity-Pawling\u2019s 116th Commencement Weekend was felt across campus on Saturday, May 27, 2023. The sun was shining, the blue and gold Trinity-Pawling banner hung proudly on Cluett, and hundreds of family members and friends filled the tent on the quad to celebrate the graduating class.<\/p>\n
Donning their blue blazers, the graduates of the Class of 2023 sat alongside each other in All Saints\u2019 Chapel and on the quad one last time \u2014 looking back on their years of accomplishments and memories at Trinity-Pawling and looking ahead at their next great adventures.<\/p>\n
In the days leading up to this milestone, we asked members of the Class of 2023 a series of three questions about their time in the Pride. In celebration of their graduation, we are pleased to share some of their answers with the Trinity-Pawling community.<\/p>\n
