S. House of Representatives Now in her third term as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful woman in American politics. Known as a tough but compassionate leader and a master of the legislative process, Pelosi has stood firm against political adversaries, unifying the fractious Democratic Party while pushing for leg- islation to protect society’s most vulnerable members—including women, people of color, workers, children, those with disabilities, immigrants and the LGBTQ population. As the 52nd speaker of the House, she has focused her legislative agenda on the climate crisis, the opioid epidemic and health- care issues. She has also strengthened consumer protections and fought government corruption. Pelosi raised five children before she was elected to Congress in 1987 to represent California’s eighth district. In her first speech on the House floor, she addressed the HIV and AIDS epidemic at a time when the government had been silent on the topic. Her election in 2007 as the first woman speaker of the House made history. During her initial ten- ure, from 2007 to 2011, she became a vocal critic of the war in Iraq. When Democrats lost the House in 2010, she became minority leader—once delivering a record-breaking speech, lasting more than eight hours, to protest legislation that failed to protect the children of undocumented immigrants. In 2019 she regained the speaker position in the midst of a standoff over border-wall funding that resulted in the longest government shutdown ever. She soon became President Trump’s most formidable challenger, even canceling the annual State of the Union address until the opposing side agreed to temporarily reopen the government. Despite her rocky relationship with the president, Pelosi has been able to work productively with some of his closest advisers, recently hammering out a difficult trade agreement and economic stimulus plans to help mitigate the financial effects of the current COVID-19 crisis. Her unflappable style has proven to be essential in these challenging times. “Fear is never a word used with me,” she said in a recent interview. “I’m never afraid, and I’m rarely surprised.” 3 Candidates for Graduate Degrees Certificate of Study Carla Marianne Paulu Groenitz Kathryn Jankura University of Hamburg, Germany B.A., Eastern Connecticut State Ari Alexandrescu University B.S., North Carolina State University Fernando Manchón Pachón Exercise and Sport Studies University of Cordoba, Spain Marisa Hayli Blackman Katherine Rose Kerrigan B.A., The College of New Jersey Laure Manissadjian B.A., Bowdoin College École Nationale Supérieure Exercise and Sport Studies Elise Marta Catania D’Architecture Paris-Val de Seine, France B.A., University of Rochester Lianne Frances McCluskey Dion Munyaneza B.A., LaSalle University Christine Hayoung Cho University of Paris VII, France Exercise and Sport Studies B.A., Bates College Justina Wohlrab Aaron Thomas Miller Olivia Soledad Del Guercio University of Vienna, Austria B.A., Indiana State University B.A., Scripps College Exercise and Sport Studies Valeri Jean-Pierre Master of Science Nicholas J.

  • Trinity College Bulletin, November 1951
    1-1RINITY COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS ISSUE NOVEMBER 1951 HARTFORD CONNECTICUT Bulletin President's Page To Trinity Alumni: By this time we are well into the one hundred twenty-ninth academic year of the College. In a few more days, half of the 1951 football season will have gone by, the Sophomore Hop will have been held or thrown (annually, the proper verb becomes apparent only in retrospect ), and even the hardiest of our undergraduates will have formed the conclusion that the climate of Hartford in late October calls for clothing a little more substantial than summer sports jackets. Text books have all been purchased, R.O.T.C. uniforms have come or are arriving, no more changing of courses is permitted and classes have thus settled down to something like a normal routine, and Dean Clarke's very commendable social program for the Freshmen has shown the Class of 1955 the road to N'ohhampton. The fraternities have chosen their pledges, and both groups are justifiably happy about the re­ sults. For reasons that evade my comprehension, students still ride in automobiles from the houses on Vernon Street to the Chapel and to classes. In short, the old order has not changed so very much since the days of many of you. There is, however, one distinctive aspect of the fall of 1951 which all of you, if you come here, would perceive and, I am sure, regret. We do not have enough dormitory space. There are 922 undergraduates registered at the College this year, 614 of whom are in residence on the campus.
