USA Today Collegiate Readership Program

ASR is looking into the possibility of making Trinity become part of USA Today's Collegiate Reader Program, a program started at Penn State 10 years ago to encourage college students more well-rounded and informed by making national and local newspapers available to them around campus (for free!). Currently, 475 colleges and universities across the United States are participating; among them, St. Mary's University and Our Lady of the Lake University. For more information about the program visit http://www.usatoday.com/educate/college/home.htm. Comments? Email Britni at britni.henderson@trinity.edu

 

Course Evaluation Form

Big changes are coming. ASR continues to represent Your voice in the process of developing a new course evaluation form. If you have feedback or suggestions, contact pamela.adornato@trinity.edu.

For a quick summary of the results, read on:

- Most people want to get Wednesday off for Thanksgiving

- Most people want to start the year earlier in order to get Wednesday off for Thanksgiving

- Most people love Fall Break. We should probably keep it.
