This semester, Aaron Delwiche—professor of Communication—challenged the students in his Mobile Gaming class to create a do-it-yourself (DIY) project. The catch? The project must be in a creative area that the students are entirely unfamiliar with. Good at baking? Build a chair. Master painter? "Create a solar-powered emergency radio from an Altoids tin." (That's a verbatim example Delwiche offered in...

The human race is causing massive destruction to the Earth, resulting in rising sea levels, the destruction of rainforests, air and water pollution, extinction of animal species and so on.

I formally joined the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil Mass in 2014, but my belief had been Catholic for months before that. Since that time, I have remained certain that becoming Catholic was the single best decision I’ve ever made or will ever make. Closeness to Christ through the sacraments, especially the Eucharist (communion) is something I could never...

Jeff Ramsey, a Trinity University alumnus, made a donation to the university this July that will be used to provide food at off-campus parties. Ramsey worked with David Tuttle, dean of students, to decide how the donation would be used. “He had mentioned that, if he were to donate, for various reasons he thought the alcohol education area would be...
