Dear Class of 2014,
Welcome back! The moment many of you have been looking for is
finally here: your Senior year in college. You are now the veterans and the
ones other students look up to. Now, you know exactly how to navigate this
place, but what’s next? What will your life look like after you leave Trinity? more>>

PEDAL!
When
a finish line is approaching, some people coast across it. You have the line in sight; you could coast
across using nothing more than experience and minimal effort. Winners don’t coast. They push until the end because it’s not over
until it’s over. more>>

“Pizza & Pleasure”: Honest Talk about Sexuality
Last
year, more than 100 students attended one or more gatherings called Pizza & Pleasure with Cay Crow, a
certified sex therapist and educator.
Students were delighted with the frank, non-judgmental, authoritative
information and conversation that she offered.
No question was taboo. This year,
like last, students will choose the topics with their anonymous votes. If you
are interested in learning more about the diversity of human sexuality in
general and/or your sexuality in particular, check out the
ballot and vote!
How might Counseling Services assist you this year? Last year we assisted about 14 percent of Trinity
undergrads for a myriad of concerns, the most common being anxiety, depression,
and relationship concerns. We also provided academic skills coaching to
students who needed to improve their grades. You can have an initial
consultation with one of our three
psychologists either by appointment (call 210-999-7411)
or during walk-in hours any weekday afternoon between 3 and 4:30 p.m.
(first-come, first-seen). We’re located on the second floor of Coates
University Center, above the bookstore. We’re here for you!
