Class Marshal
When I agreed to be
the alumni sponsor for your class, 2013 seemed so far away. Not
anymore. And as surprised as I am by the rapid passage of time, I’m sure
you’re even more amazed that in just a few months you’ll be leaving campus for
new jobs or grad school. I hope you view this next phase of your life
with excitement and happy anticipation, not dread. Either way, you
can do something to position yourself well for what is to come. more>>

Alumni
Sponsor
Not ready to run a half marathon with the Dean but, would like to participate in a cause with another group on campus. Consider joining Trinity’s MADD Tigers to Walk Like MADD, a 5K walk in Brackenridge Park on October 27 to raise awareness about drunk or impaired driving in San Antonio.
Are you concerned about the challenges of eating
on campus? Are the choices
overwhelming? Do you need to know more
about what is available and good for YOU?
Then consider joining a Special Interest Nutrition Group!

Sign-up for the YMCA!
Students may sign-up for an annual YMCA membership
at the Tri-Point YMCA. The fee, due in
full, is $180. Sleep: a daily Sabbath
You’ve got three years of college under
your belt. Have your sleep patterns changed while you’ve been here? If so, why?
While at school, do you ever feel sleep-deprived or under-functioning because
your attentiveness tank is running on empty? And are you OK with that, or do
you want to make some changes for yourself this year? Check out the sleep
section at Brain Rules,
and ease into a Sabbath restoration of rest…
How might Counseling Services assist you this year? If you find yourself struggling with homesickness, academic adjustment issues, challenges making friends, or other concerns that first years may face, take advantage of our free and confidential services. We are also available to assist with concerns that affect students regardless of their class year. In fact, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns are the most common reasons students ask to meet with a counselor. You can have an initial consultation with one of our three psychologists any weekday afternoon between 3 and 4:30 p.m. during Walk-in Hours for an initial visit (first-come, first-seen) or you can make an appointment by calling 210-999-7411 or stopping by the office to speak with the secretary. We’re located on the second floor of Coates University Center, above the bookstore. We’re here for you!

Congratulations
and Welcome to the Senior Year!
It's
your final year and you'll have plenty to do between now and May. We know
you'll be busy and Career Services is here to help.
Get your resume reviewed, practice your interview skills, attend the Fall
and Spring Career Fairs, or attend the Graduate & Professional School Fair
if you are still undecided on a graduate degree program. Attend as many of the networking events as possible. You
are in the final stretch, as soon as you feel yourself flagging, realize you
are probably trying to do too much on your own. Every month, Career Services hosts numerous programs and events. Stop by
and talk to a career professional. Attend our workshops and employer
information sessions and be open to direction. more>>
