The City of Angola and Trine University are hosting the fourth annual Trine Fest from noon-4 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 23, in downtown Angola.
Community members are invited to join Trine students for family-friendly events around the Mound, including food trucks, fun inflatables, craft activities, a rock-climbing wall, ax throwing, an extreme trampoline, a mechanical bull and more.
Local businesses and organizations will have tables set up at the event.
“Trine Fest has continued to grow each year. It’s an incredible way to connect the Trine University campus and the community of Angola,” said Jennifer LaRose, executive director of camps, conferences and events at Trine. “Students and community members will enjoy sharing food and fun as we celebrate the partnership and camaraderie we have together.”
The event is one of many on and off the Trine University campus that welcomed students back for the fall semester. Classes began at Trine on Monday, Aug. 18.
Trine University students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Two Trine University faculty members recently participated in the biennial Actuarial Teaching Conference (ATC), held July 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.
Trine University has been selected to be part of a national program to help campuses respond to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) presents for courses, curricula and higher education in general.
