It’s your future. Don’t procrastinate!
Dr. Wallace’s message about defining your personal story is solid
advice. I know you’ll get to it, right? Stop! Do it
now. You’re a senior and time’s a wastin’. I’m not trying to scare you,
but things are happening now that can have a major impact on your future.

Trinity University partnered with Southwestern
University to provide an overnight Multicultural Retreat on September 7-8,
2012. The purpose of the retreat was to establish relationships amongst
students of diverse identities. Students learned to identify areas of
privilege, power, and oppression via open dialogues and workshops around
various diversity topics. Trinity University and Southwestern University
provided tools and skills to challenge the systems of oppression and
build/promote activism around campus. Students engaged in powerful
conversations that examine their individual identities and the concept of
privilege and allyship.

Health Has Its
Rewards
In late spring of 2012 the staff of Health Services and Counseling Services
administered the National College Health Assessment (NCHA), a nationally-normed
survey of college students’ health-related behaviors. Students were
encouraged to respond to the rather lengthy survey by the opportunity to win
one of two prizes – an Apple iPad and a membership in the nearby YMCA for the
2012-2013 academic year.
Pictured below are our two winners,
Molly Zumbro and Aaron Skinner receiving their prizes from Dr. Gary Neal,
director of Counseling and Health Services. The results of the NCHA will be used to
inform health-related programming and services provided by Health Services and
Counseling Services.
Making Time for the Grad School or Job Search
We know you’re busy
with school work, but it’s time to start thinking about researching and
applying for graduate school programs and jobs. Here’s a tip to manage it all: think of the grad school/job
research and application process as a class that requires a few hours of
homework each week. Include research and application tasks in your
weekly schedule along with your academic assignments. Plan your weekly task
schedule based on due dates that are approaching during the next two weeks for
both classes and the grad school/job search. For more time
management strategies, visit the Time and Task Management section of
the Counseling Services self-help Web page.
