These members of the Trinity community will be a vital link for students in the coming year. Here’s a little more about our committed leaders, in their own words.
Head of College 1 Bhavnoor Pannu
I am Bhavnoor Kaur Pannu (a.k.a Noor) and I’m super excited to serve as your Head of College for the upcoming session! I am going into my third year, double majoring in Physiology and Global Health, and minoring in Critical Studies in Equity & Solidarity. Our incoming freshmen and seasoned upperclassmen, let me assure you that I, your humble head honcho, am here for you. From navigating the labyrinthine corridors of academia to deciphering the mysteries of life, the doors to my office (psst which has a pool table) are always open! So do stop by for a chat or an 8-ball challenge! Together, let’s create memories, forge lifelong friendships, and weave stories that will be told for years to come.

I’m an international student in fourth year who will be supporting you through the gears of student governance and working big time to improve your college life and ensure you feel included here (no pressure if you don’t want to be!). I’m here to answer your questions, concerns and listen to your suggestions regarding our college and student government! I currently specialize in accounting so I always account for things and you can hold me accountable.
