Dear 2016-ers,
I am a musicologist, focusing on music of
the seventeenth century. My specialty is
musical activities of Roman nuns in the early modern period. My first opportunity to spend a substantial
amount of time outside the country was working on my dissertation in the
1990s. I found an apartment in Rome, and
lived there for a half year, conducting research in the Vatican, the state
archives of Rome, and a number of smaller libraries and archives scattered
across the city. more>>

Dear Class of 2016:
There is an inconspicuous bronze plaque on the
brick wall beneath the flagpoles behind Northrup Hall. Though it stands as a memorial to a fallen
student, it’s dignity is muted by the “VISITOR PARKING ONLY” sign placed next
to it three feet above the asphalt.
The plaque reads: "In loving memory
of Thomas D. Chenault, Class of 1969 and his fellow Trinity University alumni
who died in service to their country."
It was dedicated on November 11, 1985. more>>

Long-Distance Relationships

in a long-distance relationship, perhaps with someone who is attending another
university? If so, check out “10 Tips for Long Distance
Relationships.” While some couples can make it work long

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. To learn more

Study Abroad
Experience
Interested
in studying abroad while you are at Trinity?
Then come to the Study Abroad Experience on November 13 at 6 p.m. in
Northrup 040. Hear from representatives
from the Study Abroad Office about different programs and the requirements for
studying abroad. You can also meet with
students who have been abroad and learn about their experiences.
Please consider purchasing a Tiger Taxi debit card (suggested amount - $25). This can't be spent
on other things, so students don't have to worry about ever being
stranded. In addition, students who may not want to spend their
discretionary money on a cab ride won't have to choose if they have a card. This
can help for emergency rides and to avoid potentially dangerous or awkward
situations. Click here for more details.
