TDC Mixer

Everyone be sure to come to Coates Lobby at 5 for the TDC Mixer! This is a chance to socialize with other TDC members as well as Associate Groups over felafels and samosas. Think of it as a way to tide yourself over until CAW begins! You won't want to miss it!


CAW Week
CAW begins on September 12th! Every night brings you different fun and educational activities to do with multiple Associate Groups. Don't forget to stop by the Kickoff on the Esplanade at lunchtime for a schedule and a popsicle! 

Welcome Back!

A new year at Trinity has begun and so has a new year with TDC! We would like to welcome back to campus all of our members and look forward to meeting our new members. TDC would like to present its new logo! Special thanks goes to Carmel for designing it.




The website is still in the process of improving. If your Associate Group has its own website or blog, we would love to link to it! Please send your information to bbrent@trinity.edu if interested.


We already have some upcoming events:


Student Involvement Fair
Come to the Esplanade Friday at 7:00 and get involved with Trinity's many clubs and organizations. TDC will have a booth there and we hope you stop by! If any new students found TDC cards in their room during NSO, bring your card to our booth and get a free TDC bag!


TDC Retreat 
Sunday, August 28th is the TDC Retreat for the entire Board and all Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the Associate Groups in Waxahachie. Please come ready to discuss the upcoming semester!

Gala Pics are up!

For all of those who wanted to see the pictures taken at Gala 2011, they are now online! 

Hopefully everyone had a great time and enjoyed the company and yummy food available at the event. The Mediterranean, Gaga Arabian Nights theme was great (good job Asian Subcontinental Association and Sexual Diversity Alliance for tying for the most points at the end of the year and picking an awesome combo theme). 

Congratulations again to Sexual Diversity Alliance for winning the "Greatest Impact" Award (shown in pic. to right); Black Student Union and Muslim Student Association for co-programming the "Best Event" - New York Undercover; and Sikh Student Association for winning the "Forward Momentum" award. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see you all again next year for more amazing times and events!

And from the old Board, Hasta la vista baby!

We've come to the end of another year for TDC and that means it's time to celebrate!! Welcome in the new officers and celebrate this past year this Friday in the Holt Center at 7:30! Invitations for the Gala should be in CCI. We hope to see you there!

On a different topic, we are considering revamping the TDC website. If you haven't already, please fill out this survey: Website Survey
