Nathan Tuttle: Writing His Own Trinity Story

Nathan Tuttle is the Residential Life coordinator most of Trinity students know, but might not know much about.

Yes, he is son of Dean of Student David Tuttle, but that is only a small part of his own Trinity story.

A trill of excitement permeated the air on a Thursday in February, as 25 Trinity students gathered around two sets of rectangular tables in the San Antonio Botanical Garden indoor/outdoor cooking facility. Chef David Terrazas, head of the Culinary Health Education Program for Families at the Botanical Garden, informed students of the menu for the evening.

This cooking event, organized by Trinity University Residential Life Assistant Director Rachel Boaz, was created as part of a larger initiative of teaching students financial literacy. Boaz, a Trinity graduate of 2010, said her intent was to “prepare juniors and seniors for their transition out of college.” One of such skills is to make meals on budget.

Price and privacy were the biggest concerns expressed by students at Wednesday’s town hall meeting about the future use of City Vista, an apartment complex recently purchased by Trinity University.

Student Life and the SGA organized the meeting, which attracted over 30 students to have a conversation with the university’s administration.

Dean of Students David Tuttle said the property will be set up like off-campus living, even though it is technically on campus.
