Congratulations:
Moving Forward and Staying Connected
Dear Class
of 2014.
It
is almost unbelievable that we have spent these past four years together.
Although some of you don’t have any idea who your Class Marshal and Alumni
Sponsor were for most of your time at Trinity (some of your peers don’t have an
idea of who we are even now), for those of you who do, it has been our absolute
pleasure to accompany you on this journey.
As it’s been said before, our hope is that as you “commence” your
adulthood years, post-graduation, that you remain connected with your
professors and with your Alma Mater.
Those of us who encourage you to do so, really mean it. I love receiving e-mails and cards from
Trinity grads informing me of their whereabouts around the country and the
world. I am also happy to write letters of recommendation for excellent
students who deserve them. It is always
a pleasure to know of your successes beyond our campus and your Bachelor’s
degree. more>>

YOUR TURN
It’s your
turn. For the first couple of decades of
our lives, we prepare. We become
educated – formally and informally – about facts, ways to think, solve
problems, live in society and in close relationships. It seems like we’re always getting ready for
the next big thing.
That process
of preparing and educating ourselves doesn’t end when we leave our formal
education, but expectations and obligations do change. Fairly or not, society now views you as a
fully formed adult, not someone preparing to be one. Now it’s your job to earn a living, contribute
to society, lead in your community, take a place at the grown-up’s table. That sounds like an abrupt change, but you’ve
been transitioning into that role for years. more>>

Saying Goodbye
Saying goodbye to friends will be a challenge for many seniors. Saying goodbye doesn’t come naturally for most of us. It is so emotionally uncomfortable or logistically awkward that it may consist of little more than one last social event that ends with a perfunctory “Let’s stay in touch!” But if you would like to do more than just ride into the sunset, read more >>

ATTENTION: Submit required proof of Health Insurance if
returning in the fall.
In the past, you have been required to provide proof of health
insurance in April prior to registering for fall classes. This requirement is
no longer tied to registration. However, students are still required to have
health insurance and provide proof of the coverage annually through an online waiver, available now.
If the waiver is not completed by July 1, the premium for the
student health insurance plan will be included on your electronic bill for the
fall semester. If you do not want that insurance you will have several weeks to
provide proof of other insurance and have that charge removed from your bill.
Students who do not do so will automatically be enrolled in the student health
insurance plan, after which the premium will not be refundable.
