The university's main Symons campus, named after founding president Thomas Symons, is located on the banks of the Otonabee River at the northeast corner of the City of Peterborough. The Symons campus plan and its original structures, including Champlain College, Lady Eaton College, Bata Library, the Chemistry Building, and the Faryon bridge, were designed by Canadian architect Ron Thom.[4]

Although Trent University is a predominantly undergraduate institution, programs are also offered at the graduate and doctorate levels.[5] In 2023, over 13,000 undergraduates and over 1,200 graduate students were enrolled at the Symons campus while Trent University Durham GTA served over 3,000 full- and part-time students at its Oshawa campus. The university is represented in Canadian Interuniversity Sports by the Trent Excalibur varsity team.

History

edit

Trent University resulted from a community discussion in 1957 about the potential for a post-secondary institution in the Trent Valley.[6] The campaign to establish Peterborough's first post-secondary institution coincided with the Ontario government's plan to create new and expand existing universities, and was furthered influenced by public pressure and the general belief that higher education was a key to social justice and economic productivity for individuals and for society.[6]

In 1963, Trent University was founded as a non-denominational, public institution in downtown Peterborough, Ontario. It was established as a provincial university under the Trent University Act, 1962–63.[7][8][9] In the fall of 1964, the university welcomed its first students, with its initial campus consisting of three refurbished buildings in central Peterborough: Rubidge Hall, Catherine Parr Traill College for women, and Peter Robinson College for men.[10] Georges Vanier, the then Governor General of Canada, officially opened Trent University in the following year.[5] That same year, there were around 100 students in attendance.[11]

Modelled on the provincial University of Toronto Act of 1906, Trent established a bicameral system consisting of a senate (faculty), responsible for academic policies, and a board of governors (citizens), exercising exclusive control over financial policies and having formal authority in all other matters. The president, appointed by the board, was to provide a link between the two bodies through institutional leadership.[6]

Canadian General Electric, a major industrial employer in Peterborough, donated a 100-acre parcel of land along the Otonabee River; other lands were subsequently acquired on both sides of the river to serve as the site of the university's permanent campus. The CGE donation included a functioning hydroelectric power plant dating from the 1890s, which still generates a substantial portion of the university's electricity and produces income for the university. The power plant underwent a $22.8-million upgrade in 2013; Trent University owns 50% of the power plant with Peterborough Utilities Group owning the remaining 50%.[12]

The university's Geography Department was set up in 1968,[13] and in 1969 the university offered Canada's first Native Studies program.[10][14]

In 2017, Trent announced the Trent University Research & Innovation Park (since renamed to Cleantech Commons).[15] That year the university enrolled about 3,500 new students.[16]

Campuses

edit

Symons Campus

edit

As a collegiate university, the Symons campus in Peterborough is currently made up of five colleges that each have their own residence halls, amenities, academic affiliations, dons, and student government (or Cabinet). The student governments and their respective committees cooperate with the College Office in planning and delivering a variety of events for both non-resident and resident members, such as visiting guest speakers, dinners and dances, the bi-annual College Weekend, and a number of intramural co-educational sport competitions.

Catharine Parr Traill College

edit

Named after pioneer writer and biologist Catharine Parr Traill, Catherine Part Traill College is the only college situated in downtown Peterborough and is the oldest remaining college. It serves as the base for the undergraduate departments of English, Cultural Studies, Media Studies, Canadian Studies and the Trent-Swansea Dual Degree in Law program. Four graduate programs have offices in the college including Public Texts (English); Cultural Studies; History; as well as the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies. Traill College is also the home of Trent University's Continuing Education program.[19]

Traill College consists of several buildings: Wallis Hall offers a mix of academic, residential, and recreational spaces, including The Trend restaurant established in 1967; Scott House, the original location of Catharine Parr Traill College, is home to the College Office, a library, common rooms, lecture spaces, and the Department of Cultural Studies; Crawford House residence; Stewart House; Kerr House; and Fry Lodge (formerly the Principal's Lodge), which is named after the college's first principal, Marion Fry.

The university previously owned Bradburn and Langton Houses on the adjacent London Street, but both properties were sold to the Peterborough Housing Corporation in 2009.[20] The Langton House property was sold to Hospice Peterborough in 2012, demolished and converted into a residential hospice.[21] In fall 1999, a university task force recommended closing the college as a cost-saving measure, which led to a flurry of protest and a successful campaign to save Traill. In 2008, it was converted to a centre of graduate studies. In 2016, an external presidential review of the college was ordered, which recommended that Traill return to its roots as a more "traditional" college, welcome back undergraduate members, and expand its services and reach into the local community.[22]

Champlain College

edit

Located along the Otonabee River, Champlain College was opened in 1966. It is named after the early 17th century French explorer Samuel de Champlain, who visited the Otonabee area in 1615. A noted cartographer, diplomat, and soldier, he also founded Quebec City in 1608 and his sword is featured in the Trent crest. The college originally served as an all-male residence, along with Peter Robinson College. It is home to the Political Studies department, the Trent International Office, the university bookstore, and the Trent University Alumni Association.[23]

Lady Eaton College

edit

Established in 1968 as an all-women's college, though now co-ed, Lady Eaton College is named in honour of local resident Flora McCrea Eaton, Lady Eaton. The college contains the offices for the departments of History, Philosophy, Classics, Women's Studies, and French and Francophone Studies.[24]

Otonabee College

edit

Otonabee College was founded in 1972. The college's name comes from that of the Otonabee River, which derives from the Anishinaabemowin word Odenabe meaning "river that beats like a heart".[25] Eight "houses" connected by an interior walkway called "the Link" make up Otonabee's residence. The residence is co-educational, although there are single-sex areas within the houses. Past "the Link" (a path leading to the instructional area of the college that bisects the residences) are a set of faculty offices and the main dining hall, which looks to the north and east of the grounds.[26] The academic wing is directly connected with the Science Buildings and houses the School of Education, as well as the departments of Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Forensic Sciences, Nursing, and Computing & Information Systems.[27] Also located in Otonabee College is the Wenjack Theatre, which provides a venue for multimedia lecture presentations, as well as theatrical productions by amateur and professional companies.[28]

Peter Gzowski College

edit

Founded in 2003, Peter Gzowski College is the most recently added college, named for CBC broadcaster Peter Gzowski, who was the university's eighth chancellor. At one point the college had two locations: on Argyle Street in buildings leased from the current Master's College and Seminary, which housed the Teacher Education and Nursing programs; and the Enwayaang building (Enwayaang means "the way we speak together" in Anishinaabe),[29] which housed the Indigenous Studies, Economics, Mathematics, and Business Administration programs, as well as the First People's House of Learning. Departments at the Argyle location were moved to Enwayaang prior to the 2006–2007 academic year.[citation needed]

Gidigaa Migizi College

edit

In November 2023, Trent announced that its sixth college would be named Gidigaa Migizi College, after the late Gidigaa Migizi (Doug Williams), a respected member of the Trent community and an Elder and community member of Curve Lake First Nation.[30] Meaning spotted eagle in English, the name Gidigaa Migizi College was recommended by the university's Elders & Traditional Knowledge Keepers Council and approved by Trent's Board of Governors.[30]

The new college crest, scarf, and colours will be unveiled in 2024.[30] The building will include as many as 700 new beds for first-year students, along with classrooms, faculty offices, and student spaces.[30] The college is slated to open in fall 2028.[30]

Trent University Durham GTA Campus

edit

Trent's Durham GTA campus in Oshawa has been offering courses for over 50 years, initially in classrooms rented from the Eastwood Collegiate and Vocational Institute. Later, Trent took space at Durham College and steadily expanded the range of courses available before acquiring a former elementary school on Thornton Road. The building was renovated and expanded, and was officially inaugurated on 18 October 2010[31] for the 2010–2011 academic year. Over 3,000 full- and part-time students attend Trent University Durham in various undergraduate- and graduate-level programs, though not all programs from the main campus are offered at the satellite campus.[32] In addition, there are several courses offered at Trent's Durham campus that students can take and later major in (and possibly minor in) at the Peterborough campus, including biology, computer information systems, cultural studies, economics, environmental & resource studies, geography, modern languages, philosophy, political studies, and women's studies.[33]

Former Colleges

edit

Peter Robinson College

edit

Peter Robinson College was the university's first college and was dedicated to Peter Robinson, the member of the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada who oversaw the migration of Irish settlers to the local area in the 1820s. The college once had an apartment-style residence but it ceased operations when it was sold to a private landlord in 2004. The university administration closed down the college, against the protests of many students and faculty at the time.[34] By referendum in March 2003, Trent students voted to create and operate a non-profit educational and cultural student facility to be shared with the community as a whole. Chosen to house this new facility was Sadleir House; one of the original university buildings at the college's site, it holds special historical significance for both the Trent and Peterborough communities. Funded by a new student levy and organized as the P.R. Community and Student Association (PRCSA), the students' offer to purchase the property was accepted by the current non-university owners. The trust secured a mortgage for the property and the students took possession of Sadleir House on 27 February 2004. Currently, each student pays a levy fee each year to support the operations of the house. Among other things, Sadleir House contains the offices of Arthur, the university's student newspaper, and the Sadleir House Alternative Library.

Julian Blackburn College

edit

Until 2011, Julian Blackburn College offered programs for part-time students in Peterborough. It was named after Julian Blackburn, one of the original professors who helped establish the university. The college is now defunct, but the Julian Blackburn Hall is now home to Trent's administration, as well as medical, counselling, printing, parking, registrar, financial aid, student affairs, student accounts, and several other university services.

Graduate studies

edit

At the graduate and doctorate levels, Trent has a number of programs, such as Anthropology M.A. (current focus is in physical anthropology and archaeology), Applications of Modelling in the Natural & Social Sciences M.A./M.Sc., Public Texts (English) M.A., History M.A., Cultural Studies M.A. and PhD, Environmental and Life Sciences (formerly known as Watershed Ecosystems) Ph.D. / M.Sc., and Materials Sciences Ph.D./M.Sc. as well as a Psychology M.A./M.Sc. The Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies offers an interdisciplinary Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies M.A. program. In addition, the centre offers, in collaboration with Carleton University, a Canadian Studies Ph.D. program, which was the first of its kind in Canada.[citation needed]

In July 2014, Trent announced they would open a Masters in Educational Studies program in July 2015.

Indigenous studies

edit

For more than 50 years, Trent has incorporated traditional Indigenous teachings and perspectives into its programming. It was the first university in Canada, and the second in North America, to establish an academic department dedicated to the study of Indigenous peoples and Indigenous knowledge. Trent's Chanie Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies offers undergraduate, master's and Ph.D. programs in Indigenous Studies. Trent University offers a program in Indigenous Environmental Studies in addition to a specialized Diploma in Foundations of Indigenous Learning that provides access for people of Indigenous heritage. The First Peoples House of Learning houses Nozhem, a First Peoples performance space.[38]

Though Trent University does not recognize fraternities and sororities on their campus, there are a few that operate off campus. There is one fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and four sororities: Alpha Pi Phi, Delta Phi Nu, Kappa Sigma Psi and Sigma Psi Alpha.

Media

edit

Arthur is a student and community newspaper associated with but editorially independent from Trent University. It was founded by Stephen Stohn in 1966. The paper has a print run of 1,500 copies per month from August to April during the academic year, and is distributed on the Trent campus and around the Peterborough community free of charge. The newspaper is supported by a non-refundable levy in the students' tuition fees.[44] Absynthe Magazine is another student paper, which was founded in 1999 and is a submissions-based publication that is reliant on Trent's community members to provide content. Like Arthur, it is distributed free of charge but receives a refundable levy from each full-time student.[44]

Trent Radio operates the community's student-sponsored community radio (formerly classified as student radio) broadcast facility called CFFF 92.7fm. Full-time students pay a membership fee as part of their student fees to support Trent Radio activities. The now defunct TrentBook was a website designed by students for students, which had articles and discussions on an array of topics that concerned Trent students. Students could also post and ask questions that they might want to have answered or discussed about.[citation needed]

The final scenes of Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) were filmed at Trent University,[citation needed] as well as most of The Novice (2021) [45]

There are many varsity and intramural sports at the university that compete at the varsity level under the name Excalibur, in men's and women's curling, cross country, rugby union, volleyball, fencing, rowing, competitive swimming, and soccer. Trent University installed a new artificial turf athletics field in the summer of 2005 that was built as part of Trent's bid to hold the 2007 U19 Women's Lacrosse Championships. There is seating for 1,000 spectators.[citation needed] Each autumn, Trent in conjunction with the Peterborough Rowing Club hosts the Head of the Trent rowing regatta, a 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) head-style race along the Trent Canal and Otonabee River that ends under the Faryon Bridge at the Symons campus. The day-long event is open to university, club, and high school crews. The Head of the Trent weekend, which also serves as a homecoming event, takes place at the university and includes a wide range of athletic and festive events. The Head of The Trent is one of the largest events of its kind in the world, and the largest single-day regatta in North America.[citation needed] A new rowing and paddling tank, named in honour of former head coach Carol Love, was recently opened[when?] in the new Trent Community Sports and Recreation Center (formerly the Trent Athletics Complex).[citation needed]

Trent's lacrosse team went through the 2008 campaign with a perfect regular season of 10-0, winning the Eastern Championship.[citation needed] However, they fell short in the Bagataway Championships to the CUFLA champions, the Guelph Gryphons.

In 2002–2003, the women's volleyball team obtained varsity status. Competing in the Ontario Colleges Athletics Association, Trent, over the last 10 years has grown into a top team in the east division. In 2009–2010, the Trent Women qualified for its first ever provincial championship held at Cambrian College. The 2010–2011 season saw Trent post a program best 18–2 regular season record, and another appearance at the provincial championships held at Loyalist College. After once again qualifying for the 2011–2012 provincial championships, Trent won the bid to host the 2012–2013 provincial championships, earning an automatic berth.[citation needed] Since then, the Trent women's volleyball team has had one athlete inducted into the OCAA Hall of Fame.
