Letter to Parents |
Lanna C. Hagge, Director Career Services Office |

To the Parents of
New Trinity Students |
Welcome!
Beyond the packing, unpacking and cheery or teary
good-byes is an abundance of rich educational opportunities for your
student at Trinity. We are proud that your son or daughter chose
Trinity and the Career Services staff members are looking forward to
helping your student develop and achieve his or her educational, social
and professional goals.
Having followed a career path that has lead me
through the realms of business, human services, university teaching,
fund raising and career services, I am convinced of one thing: A
first-rate liberal arts education in combination with hands-on
experience is the key to students successfully positioning themselves
for their future endeavors.
According to the most recent internship survey
conducted by Vault.com, 86% of seniors responding at 99 colleges and
universities completed one or more internships by graduation and 69%
completed two or more. Since 1995, when Vault.com conducted its first
internship survey showing that 62% of college seniors completed at least
one internship by graduation, there has been a 38.7% increase.
Hands-on experience through volunteer work, campus
activities, summer jobs and academic internships (starting
sophomore
year) is requisite for many fields such as medicine, teaching, finance,
journalism, human services and advertising.
Developing good academic skills is primary to
benefiting from all Trinity offers, we hope you will encourage your son
or daughter to explore interests and develop talents by
gaining work experiences to augment his or her classroom learning. For starters, your student can participate in
“Do
it Day” on Saturday, September 14. There they will join other students,
faculty and staff in volunteering for a community project. In late
January, the Community Service and Civic Engagement Office sponsors a
volunteer fair to provide students with the chance to meet staff from
community organizations and to volunteer.
Your student has three summers before graduation
from Trinity to gain experience and Career Services is eager to assist
her or him to maximize the benefits of a summer well spent. For a check

Congratulations to you and your student on the
accomplishments that enable us to welcome you to the Trinity family.
Best wishes,
Lanna C.
Hagge
"By pursuing a summer internship after my freshman year, I was
able to get first-hand experience in a business setting and realize what
jobs were out there. That exposure allowed me to meet industry leaders,
explore other fields, and gave me the background to pursue other
opportunities. Without that valuable foundation, I certainly would not
have been given the opportunity I have today."
