Why Trinity:

  • "I have a lot of personal ties to Trinity. My great-grandmother was the first woman in our family to be educated, and she got that education at Trinity. She would always call it, “the Harvard of the South.” When considering colleges, Trinity was always on the top of that list. No school could beat Trinity’s welcoming culture, small class size, and internship/research opportunities. Ever since my first visit to Trinity, I knew that I wanted to be here."
