November 2014


It’s November and so that can only mean one thing: Fall is once again not coming! I had hoped to escape the heat of San Antonio, only to find that Redlands CA this year was even hotter than South Texas.

But more seriously, November means spring registration is nearly at hand. And this year you really need to be serious about thinking through your plans. Many of you have already declared a major and will be meeting with your new major advisor for the first time. It is real important to have a thorough conversation with your new advisor about your hopes and goals, and how your remaining years at Trinity can be best shaped to meet these goals. Come to this meeting prepared, not just about classes for the spring, but already to be thinking about what you might be taking next year. This is especially important if you are planning on study abroad sometime in the future. You and your advisor can walk through your next few semesters, making sure you understand the courses needed for your major and the sequencing of these classes. more>>

Hello Class of 2017!

Have you been thinking about studying abroad during your time at Trinity?  If so, be sure to attend the Study Abroad Experience on November 12 at 7 p.m. in Northrup 040.

This program will give you the opportunity to learn more about the process of applying to study abroad, directly from the experts in the Study Abroad Office. There will also be students who have recently returned from studying abroad there to talk more about their experiences. Look for more information coming soon!

If you missed the first StrengthsQuest workshop in September, don’t worry! StrengthsQuest 101 will be back on Thursday, November 6 at 1:45 p.m. in Lightner Tea Room. More information will be sent out next week. If you haven’t taken the StrengthsQuest Assessment and are still interested, e-mail me for a code.

See you next month!

Career Services
The Winter Making Connections events in hometowns across the country are a great way to network with alumni – right where you live. A little bit of your time over the holidays gives you great food, great company and the opportunity to meet a Trinity alumnus who may be in a career that you would consider the career of your dreams. Read all about the Winter Making Connections events happening in early January. And to prepare, make some business cards to hand out to all the alumni you meet. See a student business card template online or come to the career workshop, Business Card Crafting, on Wednesday, November 12, at 8 p.m. in the Woodlawn Room.
