HE PA ST FE W MON T HS have been busy in
the TCA alumni world. We have hosted several events and are busy planning more for the spring. I am very honored to work with the

Our mission statement is “to strengthen, serve and advance TCA’s overall mission by connecting alumni and alumni parents relationally, professionally and spiritually with the TCA community.” Let me introduce you to our new Alumni Association Board for 2021-22.

Some of the projects we plan during the year are big events like the Homecoming Alumni Dinner and Spring Alumni Weekend, but we also do smaller events like the alumni parent lunches, care packages sent to the most recent graduating class, college visits to see our alumni in person and legacy family events during the year. Plus, we work on ways to better communicate with alumni by publishing quarterly newsletters and alumni profiles for Trinity Today, updating and gathering your contact information and posting alumni updates on social media. Currently, we are working on plans for the Spring Alumni
