A Message from John Brazil

At Trinity we challenge bright, ambitious students. We give them the ideal environment to achieve, and when they graduate, they truly embrace the notion that "Life is what you make of it."

Trinity graduates tell us that their college experience far exceeded their expectations — which in turn pushed them to exceed their own lofty goals. Our alumni earn Ph.D.s and start businesses in remarkable numbers. Others go on to leadership positions in public service, medicine, the sciences, academia, and the arts. Taking what they learn at Trinity, they change the lives of everyone around them-and change the world.

As their experience at Trinity teaches our students "Life is what you make of it," our experience confirms that Trinity's own future will be what we make of it. Across the country, colleges and universities are adopting the Trinity model: small liberal arts colleges are adding professional programs, and large universities are creating honors colleges that focus on the liberal arts and interdisciplinary learning. We are flattered by the many institutions trying to follow our lead, but we are not content with the status quo.

With philanthropic support, we can secure and strengthen — today and for generations to come — an educational experience that combines the best of liberal arts and professionally oriented programs. We can ensure that our dedicated professors continue to have the time and tools they need to build close relationships with their students. We can offer the kind of physical resources — from laboratories to living spaces — that bring any dream within reach.

The $200 million Campaign for Trinity University is ambitious and unprecedented. Success will require the support and participation of the entire Trinity community, including alumni, parents, faculty, staff, friends, and neighbors in San Antonio. Trinity's love of a challenge, our graduates' habit of achievement, and a tradition of generous support from all who believe in this great University, our goal is as attainable as it is necessary.
