A Trent employee for over 11 years, Brenda first started at Trent in the University Secretariat where she assisted with the Board and Senate, and managed Convocation and the United Way Campaign for the University. In 2008 she moved to the Risk Management Department and worked on initiatives such as risk waivers, the insurance portfolio and health and safety. Currently, she is assisting the Office of the President as the Acting Executive Assistant. Her various roles at Trent has allowed her the opportunity to work with many members of the university community from volunteers, students, staff, faculty and parents.
I joined the positioning committee because I think this is an extremely important project that will help define us. Since joining Trent, I have come to realize that Trent holds a special place in many staff, alumni, current students, and parents hearts. Yet, when I went to University even though I only lived about an hour and a half north of Peterborough - I had never really heard of Trent. It is Peterborough's hidden gem and we need to get people talking about Trent and what distinguishes us from other Universities. It is exciting to be a part of a project where the outcome will ultimately guide us in all our decision making at Trent.
Brenda Blackburn, (Acting) Executive Assistant to the President
