 In 1882, the Board of Trustees opted to elect three alumni to its numbers, and amended the [[charter|Charter]] to reflect this; meanwhile, the College was becoming aware that the House of Convocation was mostly inactive, to the point that it became a target of mockery by students. With the election of the first alumni to the Board of Trustees, however, the Alumni organization "took on new life." The Convocation also petitioned the trustees to change the name to "Association of the Alumni of Trinity College," as they wished to "regularize their  terminology" with that of other colleges' alumni organizations.  As a result, by December 1883, the students observed that "great and enthusiastic" was the "interest of the alumni in the affairs of the College." After decades of inactivity, it was "unprecedented."((Weaver, pp. 206-207)) In 1882, the Board of Trustees opted to elect three alumni to its numbers, and amended the [[charter|Charter]] to reflect this; meanwhile, the College was becoming aware that the House of Convocation was mostly inactive, to the point that it became a target of mockery by students.

 //In regard to alumni programs, in September 1990, the College hosted the first Black Alumni Gathering, which helped strengthen ties between black undergraduates and alumni, especially the mentor program, and facilitated discussions of ways in which black alumni could become more involved in the admissions and alumni programs as well as in other College activities. Co-chaired by Joanne A. Epps '73 and Donald K.Jackson '83, the event was highly successful and led three years later to the establishment of the Black Alumni Organization as a part of the National Alumni Association and the creation of the Black-American Alumni Scholarship Fund, whose first student scholar was Tanya D. Jones '97. In April 1995, the Black Alumni Organization helped celebrate the 25th anniversary of [[umoja_house|Umoja House]].//((Knapp, p. 493))  //In regard to alumni programs, in September 1990, the College hosted the first Black Alumni Gathering, which helped strengthen ties between black undergraduates and alumni, especially the mentor program, and facilitated discussions of ways in which black alumni could become more involved in the admissions and alumni programs as well as in other College activities.
