May 2013

Hello 2016-ers!

You are now in the homestretch of your first year at Trinity!  You have presentations, papers, projects and finals, all due in the next three weeks, all important, all threatening to upset your sometimes fragile equilibrium.  You are not alone:  everyone (and I do mean everyone—faculty, students, staff) feels the pressure at this time of the semester.  There seems to be too many assignments and not enough time.  You’re tense and anxious, and the end is nowhere in sight!  more>>

Dear Class of 2016:

Well...you made it! Almost one year under your belt at Trinity, and hardly any the worse for wear! Hopefully, you've made some new friends and discovered some life lessons along the way. Most importantly, I hope you have learned a bit about yourself. After all, what you believe and value will form the very bedrock of your personality and relationships in the coming years.  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>>
