TRINITY UNIVERSITY IS
answering questions and questioning answers.
It’s the foundation of the liberal arts: The ability to pair creative problem solving with an open book of theories and questions. From the micro to the macro, Trinity Tigers eagerly explore solutions for the world’s ‘how’s and ‘why’s—and relish seeking answers to questions that have yet to be asked.
THE PERFECT FIT
Biology professor Bethany Strunk, Ph.D., received the 2021 Voelcker Fund Young Investigator Award for her research into Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease.
"Trinity has been the perfect fit for developing this research: My energy comes from working with students. The undergraduates here are operating like graduate students. We are having fun doing something that is impactful at the same time."

TRINITY UNIVERSITY IS
empowering lives of meaning and purpose.
Through our experiential exploration of the liberal arts, Trinity University cultivates a community of lifelong learners driven by a sense of duty to each other and to the world. Backed by the University’s unwavering commitment to interdisciplinary growth and discovery, Trinity students become leaders, mentors, problem solvers, and change makers ready to forge their own paths—today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
AUTHENTIC PERSPECTIVE
What does it mean to be human? For one class of Trinity philosophy students that pairs 15 Tigers with 15 incarcerated scholars, this question is generating some unexpected answers.
"When I found myself challenging what I believed in, that’s when I realized how grateful I was to have the chance to see that the people learning beside us are three-dimensional."
Living and breathing meaning and purpose.
