I wish you an early ‘welcome back!’ As you get back into the swing of things here
on campus, I would imagine a number of you are growing more excited about your
majors. Many of you declared your major
last semester, and the rest of you (I hope!) will declare this semester.
In all of the excitement of delving more deeply into your
area of specialization, I would like to remind you that one of the highlights
of a Trinity education is the Common Curriculum. This is the means by which, regardless of
your individual areas of interest, Trinity ensures that you are well-rounded
men and women with a grounded grasp of our diverse world. This is your opportunity to explore, follow a
whim, see how others think and believe, and expand your horizon.
After you’ve caught up with friends after a summer apart,
revisited favorite haunts in San Antonio, and refreshed your memory about the
quickest ways to skirt campus construction, I encourage you to take a moment to
look at your upcoming coursework this semester.
You might find it incredibly beneficial to give some thought to how your
Common Curriculum courses might be useful to you in your planned major, in the
life you envision after your Trinity career, and in your life as an educated
member of society.
Hope to see y’all around campus!
Cheers,
Kimberlyn Montford

I graduated from Trinity in May 1977 with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration. While at Trinity, I participated in several intramural events and was an astronomy lab assistant for several years. My mother was the librarian in charge at the Great Hall. After graduation, I went straight to law school at St. Mary’s Law School in San Antonio. I received my juris doctorate degree in May 1980 and have been a practicing attorney since then.
To the Class of 2016,
Welcome back!!! I hope
you had a great summer and are now charged up for another fantastic year at Trinity.
Hi, my name is Kim Pettit, and I am your
new alumni sponsor. I look forward to
meeting you. I probably have already met
some of you at the Ice Cream Social (“Meet Me in the Middle”) or other
events.

I want you to know that I’m a longtime supporter of Trinity and
highly recommend you get involved in some way with the school and the San
Antonio community. There are so many
opportunities to get involved and make a difference in someone’s life. You will build lasting friendships as well as
a network of people who can help you as you move forward to achieve your career
goals.
Trinity is the source of a lot of great memories for me. I hope it is and will be for you. Let’s build some memories together.
Once again, I am thrilled to be your 2016 Alumni Sponsor. If you have any questions or just need to
talk, feel free to call me at 210-771-0030 or e-mail me at kpettit@satx.rr.com.

Residence Hall Check-In:
Upper-class students may move into the
residence halls beginning on Sunday, August 24. The Witt Center will be open
for check-in from 8:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday, August
27. In order to accommodate our returning
students, the Residential Life Office opens the residence halls on a weekend
day (for family travel purposes) and allows for three days to arrive to
campus. Given that, we ask that you do
not request to arrive earlier than that time, as such requests will be
denied. Please allow the staff to focus
on checking in new students and the start of New Student Orientation. We appreciate your cooperation.
