Dear
Class of 2016:
One of my greatest hopes for each of you is that you learn the joy of giving! There are any number of benevolent causes that will solicit your time, energy and money after you graduate from Trinity. But I want to address the importance of establishing a habitual pattern of giving to your alma mater...Trinity University!
Every one of you understands the lifelong value of the friendships and the education you are receiving at this institution. Whether Trinity is preparing you for graduate schooling, a corporate career, teaching or a profession, the derived benefits of your liberal arts training are limitless. Your commitment to pursuing a degree indicates your understanding of this intrinsic value. more>>
