Dear Seniors,
Sincerely,
Alternative Spring Break 2012 - Dominica
We know from talking to many of you that this is a
bittersweet time. In the last newsletter in May we will try to frame for you
all that happens - and maybe what to expect - in the crazy few last weeks of
the year. This time, though, we want you to know that it would be really normal
to have some ambivalent feelings. While you are planning a major shift in your
lifestyle, the groups and teams that have been important to you are making
plans. Without you! Younger students are registering, finding apartments,
reserving rooms... Hey, you used to do that! Lots of people are bugging you
about jobs, grad school, your “gap year” (remember we think these are usually
“on” experiences)….that’s not new. And you still don’t want to talk about it –
although it might be all you think about.
Sincerely,
Angela Breidenstein Dave Mansen

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
It’s
often hard to know how to respond to a sexual assault survivor, but two things
are of critical importance. First, an
empathic response that communicates your concern will show the survivor that
you are willing to listen nonjudgmentally and offer support throughout the
healing process. You will want to
communicate that the assault is not the survivor’s fault and that you are
available to talk at any time. Second,
it is essential for a sexual assault survivor to have as much control as
possible in handling the events following the assault. This pertains to everything from how much
information s/he chooses to share with you to decisions about whether to take
any disciplinary or judicial action about the assault. For more information about helping a
survivor, click here,
and visit Trinity’s Sexual Assault Web
site. Survivors of sexual assault may wish to make an appointment with a counselor
at Counseling Services.
The University Standards Committee meets annually to review, revise, and update Trinity University policies. Student representatives to the committee are Logan Walsh, Joseph Moore, and Kelly Wilson. Major revisions of policy often take a lot of time and require involvement of many. If you have such ideas to propose, please start now by contacting these students or Dean of Students, David Tuttle at dtuttle@trinity.edu. Any ideas are welcome from the community.
