Jimmy Jones Steps Down – A Student Perspective
This year has not been great for Trinity’s reputation, and it’s been even worse for the leadership’s. Earlier today, President Jimmy Jones sent out a campus-wide email about his plans to “step down” early, much to the surprise of students. Jones will retire July 2014 rather than seeing his contract through to 2015. Rumblings of [...]
Important Administrative Appointment At Trin
This week, Trinity announced the appointment of a new Dean of Faculty and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Thomas Mitzel. In the past, we talked about how important this appointment would be for a school at a proverbial ‘crossroads’: “There’s an elephant in the room, and it’s the size of 20 additional students in [...]
Dining Staff: Nemo’s Unsung Heroes
Nemo may have sent the state of Connecticut into emergency mode, but not Trinity. Those in bed nursing hangovers from Black Bear Thursday rejoiced with a drink as emails from professors cancelling class came pouring in.

I have probably had the above back and forth with someone a hundred times in my life. They are intrigued by my height which makes them ask the [...]
Ways to make a Thanksgiving dinner awkward in the most ‘Cac-y ways possible
Here at In the ‘Cac, we know that we have a lot of awkward information hanging out in our brains. Sometimes, returning home after spending weeks discussing race, analyzing frat parties, and trudging around in the cold to see an obscure speaker can set you apart from your other non-’Cac friends. We’re here to tell [...]
Trustees Combating Trin Stereotypes Miss Big Picture
This past Wednesday, the Trustees of Trinity College published a proverbial smack down in a unanimous vote on recommendations for changing the social layout at Trinity. Formed under the heading of “building social community,” the charter committee recommended actions with the intent to “create a student-centered community of scholars who are fully engaged, both socially [...]
