MITCH MERIN '75
of its outstanding economics department. When I visited the College as a prospective transfer student from Middlebury, I met Professor Richard Scheuch, then Chairman of the economics department at Trinity. Professor Scheuch was very encouraging, he actually shepherded my application, and eventually he had an enormous influence on my life. I refer to him as one of those 'invisible hands' that helped me along.
On my first visit to Trinity I noticed the sign leading to the economics department included an arrow pointing up and to the right, which is what every positive financial chart shows.
Professors Richard Scheuch and Ward Curran.
I learned how to learn. That’s the one thing that professors always said at Trinity - we are not teaching you things for the sake of knowledge, we are helping you learn how to learn. To me that is the most important thing that Trinity taught me. Because, whenever you get hit with a situation, the Trinity education is there all the time. It teaches you how you attack a problem or an issue, and come up with a solution.
Currently serving as a Trustee; previously serving on the Board of Fellows; supporting scholarships and other Trinity programs.
Every single book by Kurt Vonnegut.
The benefits I got from Trinity are incalculable and I would like to see more students, especially from Hartford, be able to experience a Trinity education.
