Dear Class of 2016:
I am excited that you will are returning to Trinity University for your sophomore year! The campus simply has not been the same without you! Your sophomore year will certainly be a different experience...no more freshman jitters when you enter the dormitory, and the promise of reuniting with good friends should be high on your list of things to do when returning to San Antonio. more>>

A Fresh Start
"College is
a unique experience that gets started over and over and over again until you
finally arrive at your graduation day. You have the chance to learn, grow and
even make mistakes that will add value to your experience in so many ways that
will actually make you a much better person at graduation." So begins a brief but stimulating article
from The Huffington Post titled
"The 5 New Semester Resolutions Every
College Student Needs." Check it out!
And check out the ways we at Counseling Services can help you make the most of this semester and year.

Quiet Places on Campus
Welcome to Sophomore College!
This year, you will be tasked with
declaring a major. While some of your peers may know what to declare, you might
need further exploration. One of Career
Services cornerstone advising areas is helping
students understand their academic interests and practical skills through career assessment.
The more you know about yourself, the better equipped you'll be to make a
decision when declaring a major and choosing a career path. Stop by and talk to
your career advisor. Plan to attend workshops and information sessions and be
open to direction.
August To-Do-List
-Read your Career Services weekly Event Letter,
beginning September 18 (only students
who have an active TigerJobs profile will have access to the Event Letter) .
-Have your résumé
updated and reviewed by a Career Services professional.
-Career assessments are available for
students needing more guidance on selecting a major.
-Did you receive a letter from Delta
Epsilon Iota, the Career Services sponsored, academic,
honor society? Attend a DEI information session and learn why you should
consider becoming a member.
