Who’s Who
At the head of the college is Margaret Clark. In her role as chief administrative officer, she sets the college’s intellectual and cultural tone, just as she is responsible for students’ physical safety and well-being. Together with the Associate Head of College, she oversees and cultivates the college’s social life, hosting study breaks, Master’s Teas, trips, and other events. The Head of College and Associate Head of College live in the college, in the Trumbull house, where many events are coordinated.
The Operations Manager ensures the smooth functioning of the college. In addition to coordinating its events and maintaining its facilities, the OM oversees the college’s finances, serves as a liaison between the college and the business office, and supervises special projects.
Supporting the Head of College is the Trumbull Office Senior Administrative Assistant, who handles the day-to-day business in the Trumbull Office. While coordinating with the staff in staging the college’s events, the Senior AA works especially closely with students and the TCC in support of their many activities.
The Trumbull Aides staff the front desk of the Trumbull Office and help students and visitors with the million questions they bring to the office. The aides can help with scheduling a room, getting keys, signing out a DVD or board game, or registering a party.
