About us - Trinity Women Graduates

Support Inspire Connect

Trinity Women Graduates is an association open to all female graduates of Trinity College Dublin and also to female graduates of other recognised universities who live in Ireland. Originally founded as Dublin University Women Graduates Association as on 25th April 1922, it held its inaugural meeting in Trinity week that year.

The association’s aim is to keep women graduates in touch with the university and with each other.

Following its foundation in 1922, it was given rooms in Number 6 where members met weekly for tea, organised special lectures, and published a newsletter.

In 2016 the association passed a unanimous vote to change its name to Trinity Women Graduates (TWG).
