Hello,
2016-ers!
Kimberlyn Montford
Class Marshal
Congratulations! With mid-terms completed,
you're likely starting to hit your stride both academically and socially.
You're meeting new friends, you're being challenged by new ideas, and
you're becoming used to balancing studies and recreation. I'm hoping that
your experiences to date are validating your decision to attend Trinity
University! Trinity is a great community, and I hope you are taking every
opportunity to make the most of your education. more>>

Men and women interested in joining the fraternity and sorority community attended Greek 101 on Wednesday, October 17 in Laurie Auditorium. Students had the opportunity to meet and mingle with the 10 organizations prior to a formal presentation about requirements for membership, the four pillars of fraternity and sorority life, online resources, and introductions from each of the 10 organization presidents. If you didn’t make it to Greek 101 but are still interested in joining the Fraternity & Sorority Community, contact Women's Rush & Orientation Chair - Jen Lewis (ΣΘΤ) and the Men's Rush & Orientation Chair - Derek Tinker(ΩΦ). Students can learn more information on the fraternity and sorority homepage.

The Optimal Buzz
A few
weeks ago, Dr. Richard Reams delivered multiple sessions of his “Optimal Buzz”
presentation. “The Optimal Buzz” is a
strategy for drinking alcohol that maximizes the positive effects of alcohol
and minimizes the negative effects. If
you attended one of the sessions, you’ll find a summary of the strategy here.
And if you missed the presentation, you can learn about the strategy at
the same link, of course.
You and Your High School
Boy/Girlfriend
Many
first years arrive at Trinity involved in a long-distance relationship with
someone who is attending another university or still in high school. If you and your boy/girlfriend are trying to
make it work over the miles, check out “10
Tips for Long Distance Relationships.” While
some couples can make it work long distance, others cannot. And the breakup can be tough. If you’re dealing with a breakup (or suspect
you will be), check out this
advice from the
counseling center at Villanova University.

Chaplain Nickle's Recommendation:
In the midst of
the adventure of this semester, as its challenges, perhaps, mount, take five
minutes and thirty-three seconds and treat yourself to this reminder of what "A Good Day" this is!
Dear
First-Years,
You’re
half-way done with your first semester!
Congrats! It may seem a long way
off, but be reminded that summer will be here before you know it. It is never too early to start searching for
summer opportunities. Be proactive and attend the internship search workshop!
Remember that Career Services is here to help with any questions, ideas, or
