Professor Adekunle Adeyeye, College Principal, discusses the upcoming 60th anniversary of Trevelyan College.
In 2026/2027, Trevelyan College will celebrate its 60th Anniversary. The anniversary celebrations will provide an opportunity to honour the many dimensions of college life - celebrating the contributions of our students, staff, and alumni, and recognising the successes we have achieved together as a community since our foundation. Alongside these celebrations, there will be space to reflect on our history and look ahead to the future through a series of planned initiatives. These activities will span the entire 2026/2027 academic year, marking both our foundation year and commemorating the first year of residence in our unique hexagonal college.
As we celebrate, we hope to create a lasting legacy to empower future generations of students

I am excited and look forward to celebrating 60 years of excellence at Trevelyan College, where we will honour our rich legacy, recognise our collective achievements, and embrace a bold vision for a future in which every student is empowered to explore, grow, and thrive without limits.
As we progress and finalise our planning, we would like to engage with as many alumni, students, and staff in the development of ideas or suggestions for anniversary celebrations. If you have any ideas that you would like to share, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us at trevelyan.development@durham.ac.uk.
We hope that many of you will join us to celebrate our inspiring College communities. We are very much looking forward to the celebrations in 2026/2027.
