Residential Life - Programs A variety of programs encourage interaction among residents, promote community, and learning outside of the classroom. Read below to find out more about all of the programs offered by Residential Life.
The Residential Life Student staff members offer small programs for their residents throughout the year. In the First Year Area, these programs follow the REAL LIFE model geared towards helping students acclimate to college life. Sophomore College programs focus on service learning opportunities, academic major exploration, study abroad programs, and much more. In the Upper Class Area, programs are centered around the student's transition out of the college atmosphere. These programs are offered in collaboration with Career Services, and the Senior Year Experience Team and cover topics such as applying to graduate schools, interviewing skills, networking etiquette, and career placement. In the spring of 2009 the Residential Life Staff also partnered with ARAMARK to offer cooking classes and with local apartments to host an apartment fair for those interested in living in the greater San Antonio area. For a full list of 2008-2009 Residential Life Student staff programming click here.

The Residential Life Office often collaborates with other offices to bring educational speakers to campus and will also hosts concerts on occasion.

Trinity Night at the Spurs In the past as many as 1,000 students, faculty, and staff have gone to the Alamodome to watch the San Antonio Spurs NBA championship basketball team. Now that the Spurs play in the cutting edge, but smaller AT&T center, there are two nights a year that the Spurs host TU. The first of these games will occur late in the fall semester while the other will take place early in the spring semester. This program has taken place for over fifteen years and is the largest single off campus program at Trinity University. The Spurs Coyote makes a visit to campus to promote the event and dons a Trinity t-shirt on game night to fire up the Tiger/Spur crowd.
Midnight Breakfasts This tradition features a late night breakfast provided by Residential Life and ARAMARK for students during the Monday night of finals week. Hundreds of students typically attend this FREE event.

CONGRATULATIONS Herndon!! Team motto: "Bad in Plaid" Spectators of Hallympics events knew that one thing was clear: Herndon was out for the win. After upsetting defeats in both trivia and soccer, the team had one chance left to clench a win. Skating past Winn on day one, Herndon narrowly past by Calvert in the semifinal round on day two to battle a tired McLean team in the championship game. This close scoring game was an uphill battle for both teams, but the Herndonites (a.k.a. 'Herndonians', 'Herndomination', or simply 'those who reside in Herndon') came out on top. Alan Castillejos, Collen Collins, Andrew Christ, Bobbye Pyke, Brian Westfall, Caitlin Spaulding, Charlie Wlson, Christina Saenz, Devon Rood, Devon Powers, Douglas Stiverson, Geoffrey Cole, James Jarrott, James McClure, Joseph O'Connell, Joseph Hilborn, Justin Kah, Kara Lee Shervanick, Megan Cubbler, Megan Russell, Paul Niklason, Peter Dancy, Sal Perdomo, Timothy Ybarra, Veronica Oviedo, Victoria Gonzalez, Warren Taylor, and Zachary Montgomery took home the win for Herndon.
CONGRATULATIONS Upper-Class Team!! Team motto: "We're old." The upper-class team eliminated Calvert in the semi-finals then went on to battle Thomas in the championship game. Thomas started off strong but fell apart in the end when the upper-class team netted two late goals to seal the victory. Tuesday's late night game was especially difficult for the upper-class team as they played back-to-back matches. The upper-class students have Mike Guerra, Phillip Wolke, Wilson Dang, Bryan Weems, Chrissy Keith, Jordan Crabb, Vince Rodriguez, Sonia Brady, Tim Sowers, Robert Bilyeu, Jeff Beneski, John Key, Amanda Aird, Andrew Snead, Tim Sattlerfield, Douglas Wolf, Phil Jensen, Alex Caspers, Mike Warner, Emmett Crockett, Mike Tully, Zachary Tupper, Timothy Shattuck, Kevin Squyres, Claire Parnell, Bryan Caffey, Mary Kimmitt, Shelby Hockensmith, Kathleen Coon, Tasha Lovell, Patricia Perez, Emily Howard, Tripp Cardiff, Paurakh Rajbhandary, Grant Kreegel, Will Aufricht, and Jonathan Becker to thank for the win. What do the contestants take home? A free t-shirt and whole lot of bragging rights.
CONGRATULATIONS WITT!!! Team motto: "We do WITT better." Fall Hallympics is off to a great start! Over 200 students participated in the first ever Hallympics Quiz Bowl. Representatives from all 11 teams showed up making it a tough competition, but after 10 grueling rounds Calvert, Prassel, and Witt were at the top. Teams answered questions about pop culture, sports trivia, Trinity facts, world geography and more. Members of Witt residence hall shined in the final round and eventually took home the gold. Witt participants will receive a free shirt and a gold medal for their efforts.
