TRINITY UNIVERSITY IS
answering questions and questioning answers.
It’s the foundation of the liberal arts: The ability to pair creative problem solving with an open book of theories and questions. From the micro to the macro, Trinity Tigers eagerly explore solutions for the world’s ‘how’s and ‘why’s—and relish seeking answers to questions that have yet to be asked.
