ӣƵ’s annual Trine Day, a celebration of the university as well as an
opportunity to support its mission, set records for number of donors and funds raised,
bringing in more than $160,000 for scholarships, academic and athletic needs, and
student organizations.
Held for 1,884 minutes from April 24-25, the effort raised $160,218, given by 669
donors.
“Once again, the Trine family has come together to provide our current and future
students with one of the best college experiences around, and the financial support
to afford it,” said Matt Land, vice president for advancement at Trine. “We are grateful
for each person who gave during Trine Day and continue to be excited about the future
of this university and its students, thanks to our generous donors.”
The 1,884-minute time frame reflects the year 1884, when a group of visionary Angola,
Indiana, residents founded Tri-State Normal College, the predecessor of today’s Trine
University.
From humble beginnings with two buildings and about 50 teacher training students,
the institution has grown to serve more than 13,000 students annually in undergraduate,
graduate and doctoral programs in engineering, business, health sciences, education
and arts and sciences.
