Recognizing the need to expand upon ways in which academic excellence was recognized at Trinity, the Trinity Papers was created as a “means of commending students for individual meritorious work.” The annual publication's inaugural issue was published in late May 1982. The Trinity Papers is an academic journal showcasing excellence in undergraduate studies with submissions received from a variety of students ranging across academic disciplines. A board of editors, composed of Presidential Fellows (one senior from each academic department who has demonstrated outstanding achievement), aids in the selection process, and chosen authors are recognized on Honors Day. Funding comes from the President's Office.
