We (The Office of Advancement) sent out this video last Tuesday, and I’ve hesitated to post it for several reasons, but here it is! While I’ve received great feedback about it, it was such a struggle! I had a huge “back to the drawing board” moment with this video after spending so much time on… Read more

I decided to add our social media icons to the footer of our website, but I didn’t want them to appear on the home page, since they’re already prominently displayed there. But because our site is based on a CSS, there is a single file for the footer. Only web designers/developers can relate to the… Read more

I wrote this article for this week’s newsletter (Trinity This Week). We hosted a Diversity Committee Chat last week, and I was asked by our Head of School to write an article about it. It didn’t actually run as the lead article; as pictured to the right; that’s the magic of Photoshop for the sake… Read more

A few weeks ago, I was searching through old videos for a project at work, and I ran across this one. Every year, I produce a video (about 15-25 minutes in length) highlighting community service initiatives at Trinity. This is just the ending of the 2010 video.

Writing yesterday’s blog post was quite refreshing for me, simply because of the light-hearted nature of it; my hope is that it did the same for my readers. It gave me a respite from the toxicity that seemed to permeate the air all day. When I got on Facebook this morning, there was no mistaking… Read more

First of all, I just want to say that I feel her pain! Thanks to my co-worker for passing this along and giving me a great laugh the other day! I’m so glad this election is almost over! I could almost handle the campaigning, commercials, etc., but what’s really been driving me absolutely NUTS is… Read more

I took this picture as I left work on Thursday (4:48 PM on October 25 – gotta love the iPhone for providing that information!), knowing that it would be one of the last chances I had. I have to admit that for the past 7½ years, I’ve never really paid much attention to this building,… Read more
