Trinity gives you many ways to combine classes in art, science, and the humanities. Your courses are already blending in conversations at Mabee and in your dorms. As you move through the middle of your Spring semester, I’d like to take this opportunity for a shameless plug that can help you focus on connections among your different classes: come see the Department of Human Communication and Theatre’s production of The Crazy Locomotive that opens next month (April 12-20)! I directed it, many of your fellow students are doing incredible work on it as actors, designers, technicians, and stage managers, and you shouldn’t miss it. more>>

The Biggest Regret…….
Dear Class of 2015,
This month I would like to share with you how I feel I failed myself while at Trinity. Plain and simple. I failed.
I love Trinity. When I was on-campus I wanted to take advantage of everything it had to offer. I loved my classes and I took courses in almost every subject along the way (my indecisive major bug hits again). I balanced various organizations with my courses and had lots of fun along the way. Trinity became my place of comfort because it was filled with people and things I cared about. You could have classified me as a Trinity addict. more>>

Feeling Sleepy?
March 3-10 is National Sleep Awareness Week. If you’re yawning today, or have been other days this week, it’s time for a sleep check-up. Sleep deprivation is a common experience among college students, and the consequences are numerous, including impaired concentration, impaired mood, and suppression of the immune system. In fact, getting adequate sleep is one of the best things you can do for your mental health! Check out this brief article from the State University of New York—Geneseo. And if you have trouble falling asleep, check out the comprehensive list of sleep tips from the National Sleep Foundation. (BTW, tip #2 is a top tip; you may not be able to take a relaxing bath, but there are other things you can do to transition from study or play to quiet and rest.)
