And the Thunder rolls on

Well I would have to say that the weeks leading up to homecoming are some of the busiest around campus, probably with the only exception being finals week and the week before, which are crazy.
Homecoming is next weekend, so campus will be filled with enthusiastic alums, students, and community members, all coming out to celebrate Trine. The homecoming game is always a big draw.
This year Eric Watt, Trine class of '11, will be honored during the halftime show. Watt won the Gagliardi Trophy last year, which is the D-III equivalent to the Heisman Trophy. It was an honor for him, our football program, and the school.

Speaking of football, we're off to a perfect 3-0 season! Looks like this could be another perfect season, though I don't want to jinx it.

But campus is much busier than just football right now. It's much busier than just sports even. There are enlightening speakers and events on campus every week. Soon, we're having a Burmese soldier come to speak about his journey to resettlement in America. Also, the Multicultural Student Organization is having their annual Amish Dinner, where students can go and actually eat a traditional Amish dinner with an Amish family. There are lots of different speakers from various backgrounds and fields who come to speak about how to be successful, how to live a good life, and how to get started. They can be extremely helpful for students who are trying to find their niche.

Also, Trine recently climbed in the ratings of the Princeton Review's best Midwestern private schools, now sitting at 32nd. This is quite an honor and a testament to the constant improvements that are being made all over campus.

Well, along with all the events happening outside of the classroom, it's also that time of the semeseter when the first exam occurs. I know I have one each day for the next three days, so my free time will be filled with studying. Too bad it's also the week of the premieres for all the new television shows.... but that's when time management (and late nights) come into play. Oh the life of a college student! It truly is a learning experience, and not just in the classroom.

~Til next time,
