Reunion and Academic Center Dedication<\/strong>:\u00a0 Saturday, June 4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAnd oh, by the way, there’s a Presidential Election Campaign going on in case you haven’t noticed!\u00a0 I hope that Trinity students will be actively engaged in campaign season — whatever your political preferences, this is such an important election, get involved!\u00a0 More on this when the new semester begins.<\/p>\n
So much more to come in this very important year in Trinity’s history.\u00a0 May 2016 be a year of great fulfillment for each of you, and thank you for sharing in the joy of teaching and learning at Trinity each day!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Nothing signifies Trinity’s appreciation for our history while embracing the future boldly as much as the new Trinity Academic Center.\u00a0 With an architectural style that pays tribute to our grand Main Hall (above, the installation of the red tile roof on the new building in the foreground shows an exact match for the color of Main’s 115-year-old red roof, with the grand dome still dominating the skyline), but filled with the latest technology and science equipment, the new Academic Center is a bold statement about Trinity’s firm commitment to excellence in academic and intellectual attainment.\u00a0 In an age when colleges that specialize in women’s education are increasingly few, the opening of the Academic Center in mid-2016 will be a clear signal of Trinity’s deep and abiding mission commitment to the education of women, and particularly women and students of color who, historically and even still today, have not had as many opportunities in higher education as others.\u00a0 Trinity’s animating spirit in social justice, from the Sisters of Notre Dame, compels Trinity to do whatever is necessary and possible to make sure that Trinity students have as much opportunity to realize their potential as students at other universities.\u00a0Trinity students deserve the most modern learning environments, instructional and research technologies, and we are so grateful to the amazing benefactors who have made the Academic Center possible.<\/p>\n
