This morning, Provost Patrick Prendergast announced the election of Fellows and Scholars on the steps of the Public Theatre. Ninety-nine Scholars, fourteen Fellows and three Honorary Fellows were elected as part of one of Trinity’s longest-established traditions.
The Honorary Fellowships were awarded to the Earl of Rosse, William Parsons; to Dr Marie Redmond, an Adjunct Professor in Computer Science and founder of the College campus company; and to Moria Wallace, the Provost of Oriel College, Oxford.
To be elected to the Scholarship, second year students sit exams in the week before the beginning of Hilary Term, and must achieve a mark of 70 per cent or higher. To be elected to the Fellowship, professors must have a strong academic research publication record, and must also show evidence of significant contribution to both the academic life of the college and to teaching.
Today, Trinity Monday, marks the beginning of Trinity Week, the college’s annual celebration of college life. The Faculty of Health Sciences has been tasked with the organisation of events for the week. This years theme is The Science of Happiness.
