Trinity's Cultural Houses came together to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Umoja and the fifth anniversaries of the Asian-American Students Association and La Voz Latina last weekend. Students and administrators spoke about the history of the cultural houses and what the houses mean to them.
With the new schedule for the 2005-2006 academic year, the Trinity administration is going to try something different for orientation. In past years a preorientation has been held, then an orientation for First Years and then the first day of classes. This year the first day of classes will be on Friday, Sept.
Last week Trinity students voted to replace a number of SGA members, an action that seems a demand for change within the student government. Two out of the three referendums presented to the community passed, while the integration of freshmen and upperclassmen failed by two-thirds, in opposition to the administration's decision to run a pilot program with Elton and Funston halls next year.
The Trustees have approved a $2.6 million budget for essential capital improvements and furniture replacement during the summer recess. Among the larger projects is a full renovation of Seabury and Jarvis towers, which are continuing to show signs of wear and age.
This Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, two events conceived by first-year students will be held on campus. The first is Frosh Fest, an athletic competition between first-year dorms to be held on the soccer field. The second is the first-year dollar, a fundraising event for incoming Trinity students located in the Smith lawn outside of the President's house.
Noted Economist to Address Class of 2005 at Commencement Last week, the College announced Dr. Henry Kaufman, internationally renowned president of Henry Kaufman & Company, Inc. will be the Commencement speaker at the 179th Commencement on Sunday, May 22, 2005.
