Fostering a Community of Care and Compassion

The Office of Student and Community Life cultivates an inclusive and healthy community that fosters growth, exploration, care, and engagement. To help sustain a community of engaged students who exhibit academic and personal responsibility, we constantly reflect on our policies and practices, and the impact it has on the student experience.

Recognizing that every situation is unique, we coordinate efforts with campus partners and parents/guardians to help students navigate their path forward. Together, we advise, guide, and care for students throughout their time at Trinity. In addition, we uphold our community standards and guide students, as they work to balance their academic and personal needs.

Above all, we encourage students to practice self-advocacy and engage in active problem solving. With this in mind, we urge students to be proactive in the search and use of resources and services.

Have questions or concerns about student and community life or student services? Please do not hesitate to contact us.
