I still remember being taken aback my first semester at Trinity, when a senior in my political science class pleaded to everyone in the room, "Who really cares about the environment?" For me, it was kind of a "you just don't say that" sort of a moment, and yet no one really protested.

0 CommentsOver the past years, several prominent members of the administration have left the college. Whether it's Early Reese or Chaplain Heischman, Trinity has lost members to other institutions. How do you think Trinity will go on without these individuals? Do you think Trinity can find other people to replace them?

0 CommentsLooking back, I at times feel disappointed that I didn't take the time my freshman year to become an active member of the Student Government Association (SGA), because now that I am a senator-at-large and the chair of the Campus Infrastructure Committee, I can truly appreciate what great work this organization does.
0 CommentsThis letter is in response to one published in the October 23 edition of the Tripod by a librarian about Trinity dog owners ("Librarians Scold Student Pet Owners"). As a dog owner and a senior at Trinity, I felt personally offended by some of what the librarian said and thought that the Trinity community should hear the other side.
