Now
that you have survived registration and have started classes, your next looming
deadline is for ADD/DROP. From the beginning of classes through September 6 you
can add courses and drop courses as you wish. This gives you an opportunity to
still get into a section that might have been closed during registration, but
may now have an available seat due to some other student changing their
schedule. more>>

plenty to do outside as the temps dip below triple digits with long days of
clear blue skies. more>>

“Pizza & Pleasure”: Honest Talk about Sexuality
Last
year, more than 100 students attended one or more gatherings called Pizza & Pleasure with Cay Crow, a
certified sex therapist and educator.
Students were delighted with the frank, non-judgmental, authoritative
information and conversation that she offered.
No question was taboo. This year,
like last, students will choose the topics with their anonymous votes. If you
are interested in learning more about the diversity of human sexuality in
general and/or your sexuality in particular, check out the
ballot and vote!
How might Counseling Services assist you this year?
Last year we assisted about 14 percent of Trinity undergrads for a myriad of concerns, the most common being anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. We also provided academic skills coaching to students who needed to improve their grades. You can have an initial consultation with one of our three psychologists either by appointment (call 210-999-7411) or during walk-in hours any weekday afternoon between 3 and 4:30 p.m. (first-come, first-seen). We’re located on the second floor of Coates University Center, above the bookstore. We’re here for you!
