"As the evening's emcee, Arthur Omaset, said, 'the TIP Formal is an opportunity for all of us to dress up in our fancy clothes and celebrate another year's successes.' It's also a great way for us to recognize some of the outstanding students who lead Trent's international community. Even though only a few are given special recognition, the cheers from their friends and peers let us all feel the pride, joy, and warmth of being a part of this extraordinary place where the world learns together," says TIP Director Michael Allcott.
