Hopefully
everyone enjoyed their summer; whether you were working, studying, playing, and/or
visiting family and friends, your energies should be renewed. Congratulations on being juniors! Now you’re

"Welcome to a new semester! College is a unique experience that gets started over and over and over again until you finally arrive at your graduation day. You have the chance to learn, grow and even make mistakes that will add value to your experience in so many ways that will actually make you a much better person at graduation." So begins a brief but stimulating article from The Huffington Post titled "The 5 New Semester Resolutions Every College Student Needs." Check it out! And check out the ways we at Counseling Services can help you make the most of this semester and year.

Welcome
to the Junior Year!
As
Juniors, you have a lot to look forward to and challenges to meet. Many
critical decisions that impact your career choices or graduate school plans occur during
the Junior year. 'Should I
get an internship?' (yes, you
should), 'Should I study abroad?' (hey, we're all about experience), 'Should I
be preparing for my grad school exams?' (if you plan on
applying in your Senior year then, YES). Seriously, a lot of practical
groundwork gets covered in the Junior year, make sure you are staying on top of
it and realize you don't have to do this on your own. That's what Career Services is for. Every month, Career Services hosts numerous programs and events. Stop
by and talk to a career professional. Attend our workshops and information
sessions and be open to inspiration. more>>

The Student Handbook will no longer be distributed in booklet form. The Trinity Web page allows us to produce an electronic Handbook that offers important information available to students. This saves significant costs and natural resources.
Remember that upon your return you can sign-up for the YMCA for nine months for $180. This is an incredible deal at $20 per month. Watch for more information about sign-up times and locations.
Please join
the University in congratulating Dr. Raphael Moffett, who has accepted the
position as Vice President for Student Affairs at Langston
University, a
historically black college and university (HBCU) in north central
Oklahoma. Though Dr. Moffett was not
seeking a change, several Student Affairs professionals nationally recommended
him as a rising leader in higher education. Dr. Moffett's last day will be
August 23. We will miss him but also
wish him the best.

Please join
the University in congratulating Ben
Newhouse, who has accepted the position as Dean of Students at Birmingham-Southern College. Recently the BSC
staff learned what we already know: Ben is a terrific professional and an
exceptional man and role model. Ben has aspired to a Dean of Students position
and has worked hard toward this opportunity. They will be lucky to have him at
BSC. He will get us through NSO before his departure in early September. We
wish him the best.
