Spirit of Trent Award

The Spirit of Trent Award is presented to an alum who has made a difference, through contribution to the university, the alumni association or the community. We intend with this award to recognize those who continue to demonstrate the values and lessons learned at Trent. In addition, we want to recognize those whose contribution might not otherwise be acknowledged, and who are serving in some capacity, in addition to their regular work or hobbies, to make the world a better place. We want to reward those who continue to shine the spirit of Trent in their corner of the world to let them know we are proud of them.

Young Leader Award

The Young Leader Award recognizes young alumni who have shown outstanding leadership throughout their first 10 years of alumni status either in  their professional career and/or community, public or humanitarian service and are 35 years of age or younger.
