February 2015





February opens with Greek Bid Day (Feb 6) &  Res Life applications (Feb 7) and ends with the early bloom of Texas Mountain Laurel, the campus fills with the scent of grape Kool Aide , and … CHOCOLATE!  Trinity’s 2015 Chocolate Festival is on Feb 13th @ 3-4:00PM on the Esplanade and features free chocolate for all as well as a competition between the student organizations, it’s a Trinity Tradition not to miss; maybe that’s something we’ll need to judge! February is also the month you should start locking down those summer plans: jobs, internships, studies abroad or other opportunities; May comes quickly; start planning now, ask questions & ask for help!

Career Services: Internship prep in one semester

How do you prepare for and land internships? Let Career Services help you this semester.


Request an appointment with a career advisor for a mock interview—complete with feedback. Then get a power critique of your resume during two days of Resumania (Feb. 2-3), so that you are ready to rock the Spring Career Fair Feb. 4. You’ll have a polished resume in hand and, from your mock interview, you’ll know what to say to the recruiters at the career fair based on whether you’re there to learn about the company or to discover job shadowing, internship and part-time job possibilities.
