If you’re curious about international relations, ocean policy or just looking for friendly support navigating university life, Robyn Ahn is the Academic Don you’ll want to know. A Master of Global Affairs student at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, Robyn offers Trinity College students guidance on coursework, career development, and the broader experience of student residence life.

This summer, Robyn brought her expertise into the real world through a co-op placement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Ottawa. Working with the International Oceans Policy team, she dived into the complexities of global ocean governance. Her work supported Canada’s contributions to the Our Oceans Conference, a major international forum on ocean conservation and sustainability. She also attended the Canada-ASEAN Security Symposium, where she gained insights into maritime security, supply chain resilience, and the strategic importance of the Indo-Pacific region.

“It was a great opportunity to learn how ocean policy intersects with international affairs and economic priorities,” Robyn said. That cross-disciplinary perspective—connecting policy, economics, and diplomacy—is exactly what she brings to her role supporting Trinity students.

Beyond the policy briefs and international conferences, Robyn has been exploring Ottawa as a new city, building community, and finding her favorite bingsu spot. But as the summer winds down, she’s eagerly looking forward to returning to Toronto for the fall. She’s particularly excited about residing in Trinity’s new Lawson Centre for Sustainability—a fitting home for someone whose work bridges international policy and environmental stewardship.

Whether you have questions about International Relations coursework, want to hear about careers in international affairs, or want to try bingsu, Robyn is ready to support you! Residence students and commuters can book a consultation with Robyn by sending her an email :)

Friends you haven’t met yet are waiting for you at Trinity College!

We are so excited for roommate pairings to be released for the upcoming year. While it is normal to feel butterflies about being assigned to live with someone you haven’t met yet, we hope you’ll find comfort in quotes from students who told us how their roommate made their first year better:

“I was so worried about having a roommate but she made it so easy. Thanks for being such a great roommate.”

“She has been my roommate since first year, and after almost three years of living together, I can confidently say she is now one of my best friends. Thank you Trin for putting us together!”

“He’s just a great guy.”

“My roommate made my year better by talking to me, buying me food, and comforting me when I cried.”

“She makes our dorm feel like home. She’s always there to talk and shows her support through the sweetest actions like surprises and gifts. I couldn’t ask for a better roommate. Love you!”

“In first year watching movies in our dorm room is one of my favourite memories!”

“I moved in knowing nothing about who my roommate would be and if we would be compatible, but within a day she was the person I trusted most, and to this day am so grateful and lucky to call her my roommate!”

“Always had my back. We have a good time.”

….so, there you have it! Whatever your room type, we hope you have a wonderful year making connections that will last a lifetime.

Aidan Mitchell-Boudreau is an Academic Don at Trinity College and third-year law student. This summer, Aidan is a Summer Law Student in the Banking and Finance group in the Toronto office of the full-service business law firm Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP. In this group, she’s doing a mixture of lending, derivatives, securitization, and project finance legal work. Come fall 2026, Aidan looks forward to helping our students learn more about careers in law, business, and finance.

As an Academic Don, Aidan lives in residence alongside Trinity students, offering mentorship and a steady presence through all the highs and lows of university life — from homesickness and academic stress to finding their footing in a new city.

This past year, she supported students through hundreds of touch points: one-on-one check-ins, a legal profession themed Academic Dinner connecting students with professionals and academics in the field, and a co-facilitated Trinity College Talent Show alongside the Trinity College Meeting (TCM) and Arts and Culture Living Learning Community.

We are so proud of Aidan and look forward to welcoming her back to residence in the fall.

Did You Know: Trinity is the only college at U of T with Academic Dons! Our Academic Dons are U of T graduate and professional students and they live in Trinity residence. They are available to ALL Trinity students, both residence students and commuter students, for consultations on your academic studies throughout your time here. They also support students in their accessibility, equity and health needs.

What happens when your live-in mentor is also a working scientist? For Trinity students Candice Wu and Ethan Lin, it meant landing hands-on experience in a real research lab.

Jann Gamboa, Trinity’s Academic Don for Life Sciences and Academic Writing for Science, is a PhD student at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, where he studies the gut microbiome using cutting-edge microfluidics technology. He’s welcomed Candice and Ethan into that lab, giving them the kind of research experience most undergrads only dream about.

That’s what Trinity’s Academic Dons make possible: living in residence, they offer everything from study support to career mentorship to real-world opportunities. With a background spanning mathematics, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology, Jann is a one-stop resource for science students, and when he’s not in the lab, you’ll find him hiking or reading Filipino novels.

Trinity College commuters and residence students, you can book a 1 on 1 consultation with Jann this September!
