Hello seniors, welcome to November. Two thoughts to share this month. The first
is a nag: Don’t be that person….get your graduation application materials
together. Powers that be tell me that every year some Trinity students fail to
graduate on time simply because they didn’t get around to completing the
paperwork. I know you’re super busy, but handling your business now will
eliminate one potential source of significant future stress. The deadline to apply for May 2013 graduation
is December 1, 2012. That date is fast
approaching. more>>

Serving as your class and a SPURS sorority alumni advisor, I've had the opportunity to have some great conversations with current students. I've heard several of you talk about taking a "gap year," a term no one used when I was a student. I had to look it up and have to say it sounds like a great idea. Who wouldn't like a year or so off between school and work or grad school? more>>

Do Your Need to Improve Your
Grades?
As you
head into the final six weeks of the semester, you may recognize the need to
make some improvements in your academic performance. If
it seems that you need to improve time management, be a more savvy test-taker,
etc., Counseling Services can help. We offer assistance online with
multiple links to resources designed to build academic skills. We also
offer one-on-one academic
skills coaching. To learn more about the
varied services we offer, visit our website.
Long-Distance Relationships
Are you
in a long-distance relationship, perhaps with someone who is attending another
university? If so, check out “10
Tips for Long Distance Relationships.” While
some couples can make it work long distance, others cannot. And the breakup can be tough. If you’re dealing with a breakup (or suspect
you will be), check out this
advice from the
counseling center at Villanova University.
