Class Marshal - August 2014

Welcome bock sophomores! I’m sure it’s hard to believe that you are about to start your second year at Trinity. It seems only like yesterday that you moved onto campus on that hot August day. Since you’ve been gone the Spurs made us all proud again with their awesome NBA championship!
There is a lot to look forward to this year – construction on upper campus is finished for the time being, and you can navigate your way without having to avoid fences or dust. You’ll be taking more advanced classes and starting to get some depth in your chosen area of study. And speaking of that, you’ll be declaring a major sometime this year, but don’t worry about it now – there’s lots of time to figure this out and a lot of assistance to help you along the way.

So as you settle in and reconnect with your friends, you can start to explore new clubs and opportunities at the Student Involvement Fair on Monday August 25 th. Remember that Trinity offers a whole lot more than just great classes and a nice dorm room – get involved as a way to expand your experiences and to escape from the ordinary routine.

I want to also let you know that I will be away from campus for most of this academic year. I have been named an ACE Fellow and will spend the year at the University of Redlands shadowing the President and his cabinet. But I will continue to serve as your Marshal, sending in regular newsletter posts, occasionally visiting the beautiful TU campus, and you can still reach me at sbachrach@trinity.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful year!

Dr. Bachrach
