CHALLENGE THE WAY YOU THINk.

The illustrations you’ve seen throughout Trent’s 2015 viewbook are part of our new way of expressing what is special and valuable about the Trent experience. Trent’s collaborative learning model is distinctly focused on creating a personal, purposeful and transformative learning environment for you, the individual student. This makes our University different and unique, so we thought we would illustrate that for you – literally. You’ll see these drawings in Trent ads – and especially when you visit our campuses, which we encourage you to do very soon.
