In an email sent to Trinity students, Sheryl Tynes, vice president for Student Life, announced the reinstatement of the three-year residency requirement. After sending students home last March, Trinity placed a temporary suspension on the three-year residency requirement in an effort to de-densify campus. One year later, university administrators feel confident that they can bring students back to campus safely, with the three-year residency requirement reinstituted. Trinity lists various benefits of the traditional three-year residency requirement on its website, including reasons such as community formation, student safety and individual growth. This would conflict with the residency requirement, as many students signed years-long leases.

SAN ANTONIO – Trinity University dining hall staffers chose to stay overnight and continue to feed students on campus as a historic winter storm swept the area. Tess Coody-Anders, Trinity’s vice president for strategic communications and marketing, said 14 Aramark dining services team members volunteered to stay on campus. “For their own safety, but also because despite our campus being shut down, we have residents who live on campus and depend on Mabee dining hall for dining services,” Coody-Anders said. According to Coody-Anders, about half of the 14 crew members stayed overnight on Sunday in available on-campus dorms while the other half decided to set up camp in Mabee Dining Hall. “And we really could not appreciate their going the extra mile more.”To ensure COVID-19 saftey protocols for dining students and overnight staffers, Coody-Anders said officials had created “different rooms and partitions” within the dining hall to create safer dining spaces.

They bring to the forefront of our attention contradictory and possibly competing feelings of loss, anxiety, uncertainty and excitement. This week we announced the committee that will conduct the search to identify the next Dean of Students. The role of Dean of Students on the 21st century Trinity campus is as complex as the moment of transition we face. There are the responsibilities that are very public — welcome remarks at orientations, attendance at student events and forums, facilitation of student conduct reviews, and partnerships with others on our collective student success work. We will continue to make our community stronger and our next Dean of Students must actively participate in building a community where learning can occur.

However, this literal “common ground” between Trinity and SAISD may not be perceived as so common by SAISD families. It is this gap of financial disparities, between Trinity’s high sticker price and the 90.4% of SAISD students being economically disadvantaged, that the new Trinity Community Investment partnership helps to bridge for prospective SAISD students. Undocumented students would be treated, financially, as international students and may be required to fill out the CSS profile to receive their financial aid package. Pikla made it a point to say that undocumented students’ financial aid packages will be adjusted on a case-by-case basis depending on different student and family situations. Economics is not the only barrier to entry that SAISD students will face in making their decision to attend Trinity.

SAN ANTONIO – The COVID-19 pandemic has created chaos for school students of all ages, including those applying to college.

Colleges across the nation are discussing whether standardized test scores should be included in the admissions process.

"The response has been humbling as I have received many public and private comments from parents of singers, faculty and staff, and alumni who sang in this same choir many decades ago. ""Music has an ability to soothe people in times of pain and uncertainty," Seighman continued. "Very often, the most expressive aspects to choral singing are the harmonies created with one another," he added. "It's obviously something that's missing when one is singing his or her voice part individually in the safety of their home. As beautiful as we try to make the final product with these virtual choirs, it also gives us a greater appreciation when we have the opportunity sing in person with each other."

Socially, we should be engaging even better than before. If you have a weekly book club or drinking night with friends, keep it going via video chat.

Also, dont forget to introduce older friends and relatives to new technologies that help them stay in touch through this difficult time.

May also touched on her accomplishments during her time as PM, work that was often overshadowed by Brexit. She also established Women2Win, a nonprofit aimed at getting more conservative women elected to Parliament, and oversaw an increase in female representation in her party as chair. While she said she didnt experience overt sexism herself, there are clear barriers for women in British politics.

While government is primarily to blame, Trinity University also has a cost-effective and moral solution to the homeless crisis in San Antonio. While Haven for Hope and other organizations provide transitional shelter to over a thousand San Antonians at any given moment in time, typically over a thousand others are forced to live outside. In the summer, Trinity University could offer up its dorms and potentially reduce the number of unsheltered homeless people to zero.

Junior quarterback Wyatt Messex tallied four passing touchdowns and 220 yards, connecting with Tommy Lavine twice in the endzone. There is not much else to say about Tommy, Wyatt said.

The new model will uncouple graduate program tuition from the per-credit-hour rate of undergraduate tuition, allowing each graduate program to set a fixed and competitive price for their programs. The current tuition model is coupled to the undergraduate tuition at a per credit rate, which means that when undergraduate tuition goes up, graduate school tuition goes up as well. The decision to reevaluate the graduate program tuition model is the result of extensive market research performed over the last two years by university leadership. Now, graduate program applications run through the Office of Admissions customer relationship management system, Slate, which collects data that was used in reevaluating the tuition model. I think its just a positive sign that the administration is paying attention to the graduate programs and recognizing that we have some really great graduate programs that have helped Trinity a lot, and so the fact that theyre supporting the graduate programs is really important, Schumacher said.

Though a private institution, Trinity University also functions as an open campus. Being a private university means that the facilities on campus are reserved for Trinity faculty, staff and students; the university is an open campus only because it has no walls or gates closing off all of campus. Therefore, members from outside the community are able to walk through campus but not allowed to use certain campus spaces. TUPD constantly monitors both the open and restricted places on campus, focusing on the restricted places as outside community members are not allowed in those spaces.

SAN ANTONIO - This weekend Trinity University will present a theatrical performance based on research at the Tobin Center. Soon after, the university's theater department got involved to create the play To Be Honest. "It's important to remember in this particular show (that) these are real people, and they're real words that have been transcribed," Segovia said. "These are real people, the words of real people, who told some of their most private thoughts about their core beliefs." A roundtable discussion with other audience members, director, members of the cast and the authors will follow each performance.
