The Trinity College Entrepreneurship Community is a thriving ecosystem of students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, sponsors, and other passionate and enthused participants.
The Center for Entrepreneurship is the nexus for an extensive community of innovative and entrepreneurial interests that collectively form the innovation ecosystem at Trinity.
- Tyree Innovation Fellowship Community – An exclusive, applied-for, first- and second year-focused program that is designed to build inventive, innovative, and entrepreneurial thinking and skills, culminating in Innovation Experiential Certificates and Entrepreneurial Experiential Certificates for those students who complete all the requirements. Students bond as a cohort and experience real-world innovation and entrepreneurship challenges, grow key soft skills in critical thinking, creative problem-solving, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and build networks and confidence that will stay with students for life.

- Orientation Next: Invention, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship (IIE) Experience – is designed for students who want to explore and experience the world of creating solutions to the world’s biggest challenges. This is a prelude program to jumpstart to Tyree Innovation Fellowship Programs by introducing students to key programs, themes, and experiences that form these year-long programs leading to certificate. Students in the 3-day IIE program will experience multiple field trips to explore innovation around Hartford, including planned visits to New England Air Museum where you can see the latest cool innovations and inventions driving our aerospace programs today, and a behind-the-scenes look at the engineering and invention that powers amusement park rides – visiting Six Flags New England to see them in action. Students will begin learning about how inventions and innovations get created with activities and learning from the Connecticut Invention Convention and MakerSpaceCT programs – with hands-on making and inventing fun in the largest makerspace in CT. Finally, students will bond with fellow student innovators and alumni and get introduced to Trinity’s innovation resources on and off campus – all while having fun and building your own innovative and entrepreneurial mindsets. Join us – no matter your intended major – to explore how asking the right questions can lead to new and creative solutions to change the world around us for the better. LEARN MORE →
