Blueprints 2015

Incoming freshmen converged on campus Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20, for the annual Blueprints registration event.

The fun and informational event gives students the opportunity to meet roommates, get one-on-one advising with professors, worship with new friends and future classmates, and begin to discover how they belong in Trinity’s community.

This year’s event was also a wonderful opportunity for new students and their parents to hear from President-elect Kurt Dykstra and meet him and his wife Leah.
