BARBARA FISCHER MCQUEENEY '78

I chose to attend Trinity because:
I felt that in the '70s it was one of the best schools to be a female student-athlete.

My fondest Trinity memory:
I have many, but road trips with the tennis team, the juke box in Psi U's basement, how easy it was to meet one-on-one with a professor and countless moments with great friends just enjoying the moment.

My favorite Trinity professor:
I was pretty shy in college and did not seek out professors, as much as I wish I had. I would say, my advisor, Borden Painter. I chose him because he was very fair and approachable.

Something I learned at Trinity and never forgot:
I learned to appreciate art through several art history classes. But more importantly, I learned how to be a better friend.

I remain connected to Trinity by:
Lifelong friends, watching Trinity squash and field hockey matches, being an alumni ambassador, visiting my goddaughter and the publications.

Most memorable book I read while at Trinity:
It was Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea." The summer after my senior year I took it upon myself to read everything Hemingway ever wrote because of the introduction to him in this class.

I give to Trinity because:
Trinity is part of who I am today. I feel fortunate to have gone to a college that was a good fit for me academically and athletically. It is a way for me to "give back" and to ensure that Trinity will be there for future generations.
