February! I’ve enjoyed learning about
the string of triumphs some of you have recently experienced scoring positions
or at least interviews for jobs and grad school positions. Impressive, heady
stuff. But don’t despair if your postgraduate future looks uncertain. It’s a
long game. If you know what you want but haven’t caught a break, trust that
your focused persistence will eventually pay off. If you haven’t found your
calling yet, soak up the present and remain vigilant for inspiration and
opportunity. The value of the Trinity degree you’ve worked hard to earn has no
expiration date. Don't hesitate to
schedule an appointment with Career Services for additional assistance with your process.

Seniors’ Distinctive Concerns
A lot can be churning through a
senior’s mind as graduation approaches.
Eagerness for academics to be over.
Sadness when contemplating saying goodbye to friends. Regret about missed opportunities. Pressure to make the most of the final few
months. Anxiety about what’s next. These
concerns and others—along with tips for managing the senior transition—are
discussed in an online article from the counseling center at
Villanova University. Check it out. And if you are struggling with the mix of
thoughts and emotions that mark your final semester, consider talking it over
with one of the counselors at Counseling Services. Check us out via our website.
Depression Screening Day
The spring edition of DSD is next
Wednesday, February 6, between 1 and 4 p.m. in the Counseling Services office,
215 Coates (above the Bookstore). If you
wonder whether you might be suffering from depression or manic depression,
obtain a confidential consultation without an appointment. Each DSD participant will complete a
questionnaire and meet with a counselor.
Alternatively, you can see a counselor any weekday either by appointment
or during walk-in hours (3 – 4:30 p.m.).
