Blueprints Welcomes Incoming Freshmen: Photogallery

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.

Friday activities included a delicious Chicago-style dinner and ice cream social; information sessions on the Honors Program, study abroad, and athletics; praise and worship; and games and movies late into the night.

Alyssa Whyard of Grand Rapids, Michigan, who plans to study nursing, attended the event. She is not only excited about her studies, but also the upcoming sports season. “I’m most looking forward to volleyball season and meeting my teammates,” she said, as she also looked forward to possibly meeting her roommate at Blueprints.

Matthew Meyrick of Oak Forest, Illinois, is excited join his sister Kate who also attends Trinity. The future communication arts major said, “I’m most looking forward to meeting Dr. Mattson. I’ve heard some great things.”

Saturday began with the faculty-hosted breakfast, followed by one-on-one advising sessions with professors. At the Information Expo, students learned more about the variety of campus organizations, as well as local churches, banks, and businesses in the neighborhood. Students also attended sessions about the First Year Experience and Trinity’s thriving community life. The day ended with a summer barbeque for students and their families.
