EDITOR'S LETTER

WELCOME to the 2009 edition of Trinity Today, Trinity’s annual alumni magazine.

As the Trinity alumni community continues to expand, we hope Trinity Today helps you stay connected through the mixture of news and commentary from inside and outside the College.

The magazine is also available online at www.tcd.ie/alumni, along with more information on what’s going on and how you can get involved with the College and the many alumni networks world-wide.

Many thanks to all contributors to the magazine and the many volunteers involved in supporting the Trinity alumni community.
