2015 has been a very difficult year for the global village.\u00a0 With so much international violence, terrorism, rumors of war and ongoing economic and social catastrophes in the world’s forgotten corners, we Americans should count our many blessings with a loud “Thanks and Amen!” each day.\u00a0 But instead, in too many ways, our domestic sorrows and conflicts seem to compete with a sincere disposition toward gratitude.<\/p>\n
Trinity, as always, must stand out as a countercultural force for good, for hope, for charity and fortitude.\u00a0 We are so fortunate on this small campus to have so many amazing students, devoted faculty and staff, generous and loyal alumnae and benefactors, and steadfast friends.\u00a0 Sure, we have our moments of difficulty, but even in our toughest times we have the care and respect for each other that carries the day.<\/p>\n
