November 2014


Believe it or not, there are only five weeks of classes left in the semester.  But, these next five weeks may be the most stressful.  You still have to face your first round of final exams, long paper assignments, and semester-long projects. It may seem overwhelming.  But remember what you’ve accomplished already.  By now, you’ve probably 1) fought off at least one illness, 2) receive a grade lower than you expected, 3) proven you can raise that grade, and 4) survived at least one disagreement with your roommate.  If you ever feel like it’s just too much, you should know that you can talk with us, your professors, or the professionals in counseling services.  Everyone wants you to succeed at Trinity.  We’re here to help you do it.  Just ask.

You likely have a couple of tough weeks of papers and tests ahead before the Thanksgiving break. So, as you plan your calendar, here’s a fun and free opportunity for a little stress relief: two nights and five stages of free live music, downtown Friday, Nov. 7 and Saturday, Nov. 8.

It’s called Luminaria and, if you’ve never been, it’s really worth the time and the crowds. Luminaria celebrates San Antonio’s heritage with music, light displays, art and incredible local food.  Performances and displays will happen at locations across downtown.  Visit luminariasa.org for maps and music schedules.

Get out for a few hours, have some fun, and be safe.

Hello Class of 2018!

Congratulations on completing your first set of midterms! We hope all of you are satisfied with your results. If you aren’t, remember to reach out to your professors, attend office hours, and meet with your peer tutors.

This month in the residence halls your Resident Mentor will focus on identity exploration. Starting November 10th, be on the lookout for information about upcoming events on your floor and in your hall. We hope you will take this opportunity to learn more about your own identity and the unique identities of others.

Thanksgiving Break is just around the corner! Please be aware that the residence halls will remain open during the break.

Don’t forget that every Friday is Maroon Friday! Stop by the Witt Center any Friday to see us in our maroon.

Happy Fall!
