      History

      Established in 1968 as a portfolio in the Department of Information at Trent University, Alumni Engagement and Services (also known as Alumni House, Alumni Affairs) primary function is to engage and connect Trent University alumni.

      The need for Alumni Engagement and Services was rooted in the development of the Trent University Alumni Association (TUAA). Established by Trent University’s first graduating class in 1967-1968, the Association’s main focus was to maintain friendships and connections they had developed as students, and they engaged university services in order to do so. The university agreed to maintain contact lists for alumni and produce a bulletin/newsletter to keep alumni up to date on university affairs.

      Alumni Engagement and Services works closely with the TUAA to provide alumni with services, perks, and benefits, and arrange events for alumni. Alumni Engagement and Services also publish the Trent Magazine and engage alumni in fundraising initiatives.

      Louis Taylor was the Coordinator of Alumni Engagement and Services (1974-1976), followed by Joan Doyle (1976-1979), followed by Bruce Hurley (1980 to 1984). Tony Storey was Coordinator (1984-1988) and then Director (1988-2011), followed by Lee Hays as Director (2011-2023). Naomi Hadley has served as Director since 2023.

      Since 2006, Alumni Engagement and Services has operated in Alumni House, which was previously the Champlain College Master’s Lodge (Focus Trent V. 6 No. 1). Previously, they their offices were at Catharine Parr Traill College and Lady Eaton College.
