The Office of Student Affairs provides administrative and programming support to the various
departments that coordinate student services on campus. These services include the Academic Skills
Centre, The Career Centre, Student Wellness Centre (Counselling, Health and Disability Services),
Housing and Food Services, Orientation programming and Spiritual Affairs. The Office of Student
Affairs coordinates student-based committees to help raise awareness, address concerns, and make
recommendations for improvements that will benefit the students and the University.
Student Affairs is also home to Impact, an exciting leadership program that prepares students to
assume a wide variety of leadership roles within the Trent community and beyond. Students who
complete this co-curricular experience develop the knowledge and skills to assist them in becoming
productive, compassionate and effective leaders.
Student Affairs coordinates the Co-curricular Record for students in Peterborough and Oshawa.
The co-curricular experience requirements aim to provide students with the knowledge and skills that
encourage productive, compassionate and effective leadership and citizenry. The certificate becomes
part of the students’ co-curricular record in which all volunteer and service learning experiences at
Trent are recorded. The co-curricular record is an adjunct to academic transcripts and provides a
valuable tool to demonstrate experience and skills to potential employers.

Studying at Trent University is an exciting and important time in a student’s life, but it is just one phase
in the lifelong relationship that the Alumni Association fosters and encourages.
Trent’s alumni remain informed, interested and involved, long after graduation day. Recent
graduates help represent the university to high school students; university committees and boards
benefit from alumni participation; Homecoming Weekend welcomes alumni back to campus each
year; Alumni House is a special, popular facility for many university events as well as a destination for
returning alumni; twenty-five Chapters across Canada and overseas provide opportunities for Trent
alumni to meet in their home communities, and our magazine Trent is provided to alumni and friends
around the world three times a year.
Alumni involvement is visible every day at Trent through bursaries, awards, prizes, scholarships,
support for student groups and programs, hospitality to new students, special lectures and sponsored
events.
Trent’s alumni number almost 40,000 representing 97 different countries. The success of our
alumni as liberal arts and science graduates is impressive and diverse including a nationally recognized
executive search consultant, an award-winning physicist, a University President, a leading Canadian
church-woman, a pioneering specialist in Canadian environmental law, an innovative leader in
information technology, a doctor committed to international humanitarian causes, an Ontario Court
Justice and several award-winning writers and musicians.
This strong and lasting bond that alumni form for Trent is an indication of the richness of their
experiences as students.
