FYE Topic

The topic of the Summer Bridge FYE is “A Successful Life.” Everyone sets out to succeed, but pinpointing what “success” means can be tricky business. In this course, you will:

• Question how we can measure deep, long-term success
• Examine the surprising ways important figures have sought to define success
• Study contemporary examples of struggles to achieve artistic and scientific success

The semester will culminate in your individual creative exploration of how you might finish your first year at Trinity with success, how you might extend that success along the road to graduation, and, most importantly, how you can forge the path to an ultimately successful life.
