Dear Class
of 2014,
At this point in our nation’s history, obtaining a college education is not a right, but a privilege accorded to very few. All of you are among the fortunate who have made it to college. With hard work from you, your loved ones, your peers, and your academic community you have managed to be almost done with your sophomore year. We all know that you have faced some challenges along the way but that you have also learned valuable lessons to get you through it all. more>>
Sincerely,
Rita Urquijo-Ruiz

April is
Sexual Assault Awareness Month
The University Standards Committee meets annually to review, revise, and update Trinity University policies. Student representatives to the committee are Logan Walsh, Joseph Moore, and Kelly Wilson. Major revisions of policy often take a lot of time and require involvement of many. If you have such ideas to propose, please start now by contacting these students or Dean of Students, David Tuttle at dtuttle@trinity.edu. Any ideas are welcome from the community.
It’s
often hard to know how to respond to a sexual assault survivor, but two things
are of critical importance. First, an
empathic response that communicates your concern will show the survivor that
you are willing to listen nonjudgmentally and offer support throughout the
healing process. You will want to
communicate that the assault is not the survivor’s fault and that you are
available to talk at any time. Second,
it is essential for a sexual assault survivor to have as much control as
possible in handling the events following the assault. This pertains to everything from how much
information s/he chooses to share with you to decisions about whether to take
any disciplinary or judicial action about the assault. For more information about helping a
survivor, click here,
and visit Trinity’s Sexual Assault Web
site. Survivors of sexual assault may wish to make an appointment with a counselor
at Counseling Services.
