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>>

While First-Year students
can fool themselves into thinking that they will return to the dynamics of
family and friends that they enjoyed in high school, sophomores tend to wisely,
perhaps wistfully affirm the insight of the title of Thomas Wolfe’s
posthumously published novel: You Can’t Go Home Again! more>>
Sophomores, you’re halfway to graduation! We at Career Services encourage you to think about how you can use this summer break to prepare yourself for your career. Maybe that means getting a summer job or internship or even spending time seriously considering what you’d like to do when you graduate. Remember that we are available to meet with you (in person or via Skype!) over the summer to discuss career options or help you look for fall internships. To schedule an appointment with a Career Advisor, call 210-999-8321. We wish you a great summer break and look forward to your return in August. Are you using TigerJobs to find jobs (summer/part-time) and internships? Contact Career Services with questions
at careerservices@trinity.edu.

The Library Flash Rave
has quickly become a beloved tradition, but over the past couple semesters, it
has become a destructive tradition...which can't continue. The Student
Programming Board has graciously stepped in to coordinate this event, but they
need some help from you to ensure this tradition can last for years to
come. more>>
