March 2015


There’s nothing better than Spring Break.  A chance for you to go the beach or skiing or just home to sleep.  In addition to our usual advice for students heading out on their first college Spring Break trips - make smart choices, wear shoes that make you happy, and drink a lot of water - we’d like to also add these more academic suggestions:  don’t put off all of your homework until Sunday night, March 15, don’t think, “I can turn it all around after the break,” don’t tell your professor you are going to miss class on Monday, March 16 “because you wanted cheaper plane tickets,” and don’t rub in the fact that your professor went to a conference in Toledo.  Oh, and one more thing - don’t think, for a minute, that the milk in your refrigerator will keep.  Safe travels!

The countdown to Spring Break is on! In addition to catching up on sleep and having fun, this is also a great time to figure out what you’re going to do this summer.

Job shadowing and internships look good on your resume and graduate school applications, they also allow you to “test drive” a potential career, get connected with people working in your chosen field, and can even result in a job after graduation.  
Lots of organizations have information and contacts on their websites, so be proactive. You can also check out www.internships.com and reach out to TU’s Career Services team.

Enjoy your break and be safe!

Hello, Class of 2018!

Can you believe it is already March?! Time flies when you are having fun and getting into the swing of spring semester. March is also the time for Trinity’s Spring Break. We hope all of you use your break to enjoy some much needed relaxation time! We also hope all of you will take precautions as you celebrate the time off from school. Remember to take care of yourself and others, especially when alcohol is involved. Want to learn more about healthy drinking behaviors and Spring Break safety? Head to Trinity University’s Police Department’s Spring Break Event on
March 4, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. outside the Witt Center. Not able to attend but have questions about healthy drinking behaviors? Ask your RM to provide you with tips and advice.

Be safe, and enjoy your Spring Break!

Enter to WIN a Google Nexus!
Trinity wants to improve your experience and the experience of future Tigers, and you can help by completing the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE).  NSSE helps us understand how students are spending time in and out of the classroom, which guides decisions that will benefit Trinity students for generations.  
Please check your e-mail for a link to the survey.  You should have received a survey invitation by e-mail earlier this month.  If you can’t find the link—no worries!  An additional e-mail reminder will be sent out in the next week.  
In appreciation for participating, we will enter all students who complete the survey into a drawing for 1 of 2 Google Nexus Tablets (worth $175).  One senior and one first-year student will be selected to win.
If you have any questions about this project at Trinity or how we plan to use the results, feel free to e-mail me at abaker6@trinity.edu or 210-999-8483.
Your feedback is valuable!  Thank you for considering this request.
Sincerely,
Adam Baker
Assistant Director of Institutional Research
