Read about our new Trinity students in my Convocation Speech to New Students 8 26 2016<\/a><\/p>\n

Our new Trinity Women have a lot to say about current political issues!\u00a0 Senior Airen Washington ’17 led the new students in a terrific Rock the Vote<\/a> session at orientation, and many students registered to vote at that time.\u00a0 At the opening convocation last Friday, we took a straw poll of the new students about which candidate they hoped would win the election for president of the United States ….results below.\u00a0\u00a0 I also asked the new students to write a brief answer to this question:\u00a0 if you could speak with the new President of the United States on Inauguration Day, what would you tell him or her is the most important thing the President should do to improve your life and the lives of your families and communities?<\/em>\u00a0 The list is long and quite impressive.<\/p>\n
