Upcoming Events

Activities that are planned by students must receive approval from the Director of Student Services prior to implementation of the event. A request in writing must be made and submitted to the Student Services Department two weeks prior to the event. Students are encouraged to seek programming assistance from Student Services in advance of the two-week deadline. After the request is received, the activity will be reviewed for approval and compliance with Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences policies and guidelines.

Getting involved in student activities can be the difference between merely attending Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences compared to becoming a vital part of the total College experience. Advantages of student involvement include gaining more knowledge about the field of health sciences, establishing new friendships, developing leadership skills, assisting with community service projects and just having a good time. Participation is available through the Student Government Association, Student Nurses Association and professional honor societies such as Phi Theta Kappa and the BSN Honor Society. Students may also volunteer to represent all students on College standing committees or on the Governing Board. Representatives are chosen by the Department Director of Student Services from the volunteers who have identified themselves at the time representatives are needed.

Campus Guides are volunteers who serve under the Director of Student Services as official College hosts. Activities of this group include assisting with campus tours, new student orientation, informational sessions, recruitment activities and graduation. Any student interested can contact the student services office for information on this program.

The Student Government Association (SGA) exists to facilitate a positive learning environment, provide professional socialization and also to act as a student voice on policies and issues. Student Government provides an opportunity for individuals to exercise a variety of skills in the areas of leadership, decision-making, planning, organizing and human relations. Students from all health sciences programs are able to interact in a collaborative manner while providing service to the community as well as the health care profession. All students have the opportunity to become involved in SGA. The officers and committee members for the SGA are elected early in the academic year. All Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences students are members of SGA.
