Dear Class of 2015,
It is almost time to register for the Fall of 2012. As you consider which classes to take, stop to ask yourself a few questions: Which classes in your first year have changed the way you think? What are you most curious to learn more about? What "how" and "why" questions do you find yourself gravitating toward? Which understandings in the Common Curriculum did you have less contact with than others? more>>
Sincerely,
Kyle Gillette
Class Marshal

It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like……Fiesta????
Yes, that’s right. It’s Fiesta Time in San Antonio. Fiesta celebrations first started in 1891 when the citizens of San Antonio decided to honor the heroes of the Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto through a Battle of Flowers. Today the Battle of Flowers parade is the second largest parade in the United States. However, over time, Fiesta has become a city-wide celebration spanning over the course of 11 days (with over 100 events). Here are some great ones to check out during this year’s Fiesta celebration with runs April 19-29. However, you can also check out the Fiesta Web site at www.fiesta-sa.org for more details.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
The University Standards Committee meets annually to review, revise, and update Trinity University policies. Student representatives to the committee are Logan Walsh, Joseph Moore, and Kelly Wilson. Major revisions of policy often take a lot of time and require involvement of many. If you have such ideas to propose, please start now by contacting these students or Dean of Students, David Tuttle at dtuttle@trinity.edu. Any ideas are welcome from the community.
It’s often hard to know how to respond to a sexual assault survivor, but two things are of critical importance. First, an empathic response that communicates your concern will show the survivor that you are willing to listen nonjudgmentally and offer support throughout the healing process. You will want to communicate that the assault is not the survivor’s fault and that you are available to talk at any time. Second, it is essential for a sexual assault survivor to have as much control as possible in handling the events following the assault. This pertains to everything from how much information s/he chooses to share with you to decisions about whether to take any disciplinary or judicial action about the assault. For more information about helping a survivor, click here, and visit Trinity’s Sexual Assault Web site. Survivors of sexual assault may wish to make an appointment with a counselor at Counseling Services.

It’s hard to believe that we are approaching the home stretch of your first year of college. It seems like only yesterday that it was a bazillion degrees outside, and you were constantly forced to listen to this super-energetic guy (me) who was way too excited about orientation. But I told you’d we’d have fun over our first six days together, and we did so I think I’ve earned a bit of credibility with you. more>>
