Trent University - Peterborough came about from public discussion in 1957 about the possibility of opening a post-secondary institution in the Trent Valley. The policy of university education initiated in the 1960s responded to population pressure and the belief that higher education was a key to social justice and economic productivity for individuals and for society.
Trent University - Peterborough is a non-denominational, public institution founded in Peterborough, Ontario. Trent University was granted a provincial university by Trent University Act, 1963. In 1963, the university opened Rubidge Hall, Traill College, and Peter Robinson College in 1964. The governor general, Georges Vanier officially opened Trent University in 1964.
The Symons campus of Trent University - Peterborough is approximately 5.6 km2 (2.2 sq mi), over half of which is a part of Trent's Nature Areas, an ecologically diverse wild-life preserve. It is divided into a series of colleges: Champlain, Lady Eaton, Catharine Parr Traill, Otonabee, Peter Gzowski, and Julian Blackburn. Each college has its own residence hall, dining room, and student government. The exception to this rule is Julian Blackburn, which is a non-residential college and home to Trent's 1,700 part time students. Trent University - Peterborough campus plan and the original colleges were designed by the Canadian architect Ron Thom. A large portion of the main campus consists of land that was donated by GE Canada. This donation included a functioning hydroelectric power plant dating from the 1890s, and which still generates a substantial portion of the university's electricity; the power plant is being updated and a second generating plant being considered.
Trent University - Peterborough also runs a full- and part-time program in Oshawa at the new Thornton Rd. campus, with an enrolment of over 800 students. The university is represented in Canadian Interuniversity Sport by the Trent Excalibur. Some of the more notable specialized programs at Trent include the Queen's University/Trent concurrent education program, the Trent University School of Education, a joint program with Fleming College, in which students earn a B.Sc.F.S. in Forensic Science, as well as a B.Sc.N. program in Nursing.
Trent University - Peterborough takes pride in its rowing club. Each autumn, Trent in conjunction with the Peterborough Rowing Club hosts the Head of the Trent rowing regatta, a 5 kilometer head-style race along the Trent Canal and Otonabee River, finishing under the Faryon Bridge on Trent University - Peterborough campus. The day-long event is open to university, club, and high school crews. Head of the Trent weekend is also homecoming at Trent University and includes a wide range of athletic and festive events. The Head of The Trent is one of the largest events of its kind in the world, and the largest single-day regatta in North America. A new rowing/paddling tank, named in honors of former head coach Carol Love, was recently opened in the new Trent Community Sports and Recreation Center (formerly the Trent Athletics Complex). This complements the new Pond-to-Podium project ngoing in Peterborough as part of a larger talent identification effort.
Trent University - Peterborough has a variety of clubs and groups; the most popular group includes both hippies and hipsters, including a number of theatre groups, social interest groups, newspapers, religious groups, political chapters and academic societies. These groups include the Peterborough chapter of the Ontario Public Interest Research Group, Anne Shirley Theatre Company, Sustainable Trent, the Centre for Gender and Social Justice (previously known as Trent Women's Centre), and Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 3908. These groups are showcased during Introductory Seminar Week (ISW) for the benefit of new students.
