August 2014


Welcome to Trinity! Our names are Dr. Jennifer Henderson and Dr. Aaron Delwiche, and we're professors in the Department of Communication. As your class marshals, we look forward to getting to know you during the next four years. We will regularly touch base with you to share tips on how to be successful at Trinity, and you should feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions about life inside or outside the classroom. Your arrival at Trinity marks the beginning of many new adventures, so don’t worry if things sometimes feel a bit overwhelming.  The good news is that it will also be fun.

Congratulations and welcome to Trinity! I’m your Alumni Sponsor and proud to be a resource for you.  You may not believe it, but your time at Trinity is going to fly by faster than you’re expecting. That’s because you’re going to be busy – with classes, studying, activities, making new friends, studying (I told your parents I would put that one on the list twice J ) and hopefully, taking advantage of some of the fun and worthwhile things to do around San Antonio. From events and museums to meaningful volunteer opportunities, part of my role is to make sure you don’t look up four years from now and realize you’ve spent them in the Trinity “bubble."  You’ll hear from me regularly through the newsletter and the Class of 2018 Facebook page, but please feel free to contact me if you have a question or an idea to share.  I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know you.

Safe travels and best wishes as you begin your Trinity journey!

Trinity University works to make your move in experience as smooth as possible. New students will check-in to the residence halls on Thursday, August 21, 2014. Move-in is scheduled by hall. We ask that you respect these time periods (listed on the web page below).

 

Check out the First-Year Move-In Day page to learn more about your first day on campus and specific move-in directions.

 

Tip: Clearly label all of your items with your name, hall, and room number and have this information handy - it will speed things up.
