Trinity College
40 Years of Coeducation
1969-2009
Preliminary Schedule of Events
In the fall of 1969, 186 years after the founding of the College, Trinity accepted its first class of women. 106 women matriculated as “freshwomen.”
Over the past 40 years, women have made significant impacts on all areas of the life of the College, in the highest arenas of academic achievement, the emergence of a vibrant women’s athletic culture, and the transformation of much of Trinity’s social culture.
Throughout the 2009-2010 academic year, Trinity will offer a series of events that examine the whole range of implications of 40 years of coeducation.
