SCHOLARSHIP, CREATIVITY, & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TRINITY UNIVERSITY 2019-2020
EDITOR’S NOTE You may have noticed: We don’t typically include an editor’s note in IMPACT. We also don’t typically wear masks while singing socially distanced choir concerts, drive across the state to set up a summer research project in a student’s backyard, or deliver stellar theatrical performances individually together via Zoom. But you already know that nothing about this year was typical. Nothing was predictable. Nothing—at first—went as planned. And then, somehow everything inherent to Trinity’s core, to our mission, went well beyond typical. Faculty dedicated countless hours to migrating their courses to the TigerFlex learning model; or, they found creative solutions to socially distance in-person learning, leading, and doing. Hands-on research became at-home research. Office hours became one-end-of-the-dining-room-table hours. Hosting guest speakers became assigning a meeting co-host. This isn’t the first time faculty and staff have been instrumental in pushing Trinity forward. For more than 150 years, Trinity University has been a force in motion,
and our educators have embraced that motion. They are courageous in the face of challenges. They are creative in the face of change. This issue of IMPACT magazine isn’t typical, either. To steward crucial resources, we’ve moved our content online. In turn, we’ve found opportunities to share more content, showcase more people, and embed interactive media. The listings of publications, awards, and accomplishments are a highlight reel that accompanies the online format as a downloadable and shareable PDF. We hope this issue will stretch beyond the printed page to reach digital corners we haven’t in the past. And from the editorial and advisory boards at IMPACT magazine, thank you for spending even more of your screen time with us. We’re so excited to share the stories of the superheroes we get to work with every day. Cheers, Jeanna Goodrich Balreira ’08
