What Students Say About Trinity

Ashleigh Wesche '08

Ashleigh attended Trinity on an ROTC scholarship and just before graduation, was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Air Force, where she will serve as an intelligence officer.

“Trinity is in amazing place and I have learned so much here. My professors have always been committed to my academic success and I really value that support.

"My history major has prepared me well for my career in intelligence. I am a firm believer that you cannot understand anything going on in the world today and begin to try and solve the problems, without a deep understanding of how they all started. "

History

Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Much more than learning dates, history can teach us how to achieve our own goals. Studying great leaders (and not-so-great ones) we learn how their decisions lead to triumph or ruin. On a larger level, we can see what events and decisions have historically lead countries to peace—or to war—and be able to see similar patterns in current events. History is a rich library of winning and failed strategies for success at all levels, and knowledge of these strategies is a powerful tool for your own achievement.

Trinity students study history as a major, minor, or as core or elected courses.
