Trinity joins leading US universities in CASA Oxford University College
Trinity hosted the Consortium for Advanced Studies Abroad (CASA) 2016 board meeting, having become the first non-US member to join the consortium. CASA is a non-profit organisation, comprising nine leading US research universities. It was formed in 2014 to provide a framework to facilitate student mobility internationally through the establishment of study-centres around the world. Trinity is the tenth member and the first CASA partner institution based outside of the United States. The first Trinity students are expected to be part of the CASA cohort based in Havana in January 2017.
Trinity Access Programmes’ (TAP) model adopted by Oxford University Lady Margaret Hall (LMH), an Oxford University College, is to launch a four-year pilot scheme offering a foundation year to students from underrepresented backgrounds, starting in 2016. The scheme will be offered in association with Trinity, which has operated the Trinity Access Programmes (TAP) for 22 years. Former editor of The Guardian, and Principal of Lady Margaret Hall, Alan Rusbridger said, “This pilot scheme will, we hope, find young people from under-represented groups and help them find a path into an Oxford education and thereby transform lives.”
