Home is where your Dorm is… Not really, Home is ALL of San Antonio
Dear
Class of 2014,
Unbelievably enough, here we are again at the end of not just
another semester, but the entire academic year!
In a couple of weeks you will be free to leave your dorms and either go
back home (if you’re from out of town) or stick around a bit longer if you’re
one of the lucky students who secured a job here this summer. My message to you is simple: I invite you to
take the opportunity to explore the city of San Antonio any time you’re within
its boundaries. more>>

Your Last Summer?
If I were big on
sports analogies – which I’m not – I’d say we’re rounding third base and
heading for home. In just weeks, you’ll
be finished with your third year at Trinity.
Amazing how quickly time goes by, isn’t it? No more angst about picking a major, no
concerns about getting into a sorority or fraternity, no sales pitches to
parents about the value of a semester abroad.
Instead, you’re probably looking past graduation, planning the next
step, getting excited about grad school or starting that first “real” job. more>>

Don’t
Just Say “Goodbye” for the Summer!
Summer break is right around the corner!
Summer can provide a welcomed respite from the rigors of Trinity life
and offer a time to renew relationships with family and high school friends. It can also put a strain on your Trinity
relationships, however. Whether platonic
or romantic, your Trinity relationships deserve some nurturing over the summer
so that they maintain connectedness and momentum. more>>
Plan NOW to be involved in the fall!
