In just three months, the incoming freshmen class will begin their college career at Trinity, and the university is hoping to start the Class of 2023 off on a stronger foot with the newly implemented Starting Strong Initiative.

The initiative traces back to early 2016 and Dr. John R. Hermann, professor of political science, who was responsible for writing the initial proposal.

In April 2016, the plan was chosen as the new QEP, or Quality Enhancement Plan, as part of the re-accreditation process, and Hermann chaired the initiative through its planning stages. By June 2016, the planning officially began, as the newly christened “Development Team” received funding from the Office of the President.
