Hello 2016-ers!
We’re in the home stretch! There’s about a week until classes end, you’re finishing up assignments, and preparing your study outlines for your final exams. In a few weeks, you’ll be done for the year. This is probably not going to be a popular topic right now, but I would like to posit the notion that this is the best time to think about your senior year.
I say that for a number of reasons: a) you can let the thought percolate over your first few days of summer veg-ing out, b) the end of the school year is the perfect time to remember the things you would like to do better/differently (or even avoid) next year, and c) you have the summer to start putting a few things in place.
I don’t have specific advice to give, I only want you to consider: what do you want your senior year to look like? Are you picturing fun classes that you’re only now having the time to take? Are you gutting through those last major or common curriculum courses? Are you cementing the friendships that you’ve made over the past few years so that they can be the foundation of the relationships that will get you through your first few adult-on-you-own years?
Daydream and plan this summer. Daydream and plan for your senior—your last—year at Trinity.
Good luck with finals, papers, presentations and happy summer!

- THREE DOWN & ONE TO GO -
Hello, Class of 2016! In my last letter to you, I wrote about balancing fun and future and asked you to think about the fun things you did during the last three years and what you want to accomplish during your senior year. I hope you gave some thought to that and look forward to hearing your stories.
This time next year, I will be writing my final letter to you because around May 14, 2016 you will no longer be students. From that time forward, you will be known as graduates and the newest Trinity alumni. Finals are just around the corner on May 6 - 12. I hope you have already applied for a summer job or internship. It is a great opportunity to earn some money and get some work experience. If you are lucky enough to actually have a summer vacation, enjoy it.
The commencement ceremony is on May 16. Commencement may be the last time you see some of your Trinity friends. After graduation, they will move on with their lives. Have you started to think about your graduation? It is not that far off.
Let me share some thoughts with you as this school year ends and you get ready for the fall semester...MORE>>>
