Broaden your horizons and get involved in San Antonio

guest columnists August 22, 2013

Greeting class of 2017! A short 22 years ago, my father helped me move in to Herndon first. Though it's been a few days (ahem) since I moved to Trinity for the first time, the the experience still resonates....

For the graduates: adulthood from an adult perspective

Cynara Medina May 3, 2013

I have been thinking a lot about adulthood lately. At 19, being an adult meant that I was no longer under maternal supervision. I could stay up as late as I wanted, I could cuss like a sailor if I felt...

Joe O’Connell – Reflecting on four years of growth and learning

Joe O'Connell May 3, 2013

As much as I'd like to go out in a blaze of glory throwing up double freedom rockets, I think it's apropos to do a little reflecting first. I visited Trinity University a week and a half before the...

Jacob Hugentobler – Eight semester of Trinity wisdom

guest columnists May 3, 2013

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. This is how I count semesters, not fall or spring or freshman year, etc. Most people say first year, sophomore, junior, senior but that changes every year so I make it easy. 2010,...

Clare Watkins – Thanks for the friends and love, Trinity

guest columnists May 3, 2013

While reflecting on my time at Trinity, I rest at the Miller Fountain. This seems most appropriate, as it has become my favorite place on campus. I hear the bell tower ringing, a skateboard going over...
