GINNY BUTERA '73

I chose to attend Trinity because:
I wanted to study Italian and I thought that Dr. Michael Campo was terrific when I went to see Trinity and talk with him. Also, I thought it would be fun to be in the first class of women at a men's college--I was right on both counts!

My fondest Trinity memory:
Sitting in the Dining Hall talking with my friends and climbing up onto the Chapel roof at night freshman year and looking out over the beautiful Quad and campus.

My favorite Trinity professor:
Dr. Michael Campo, Dr. Borden Painter, Hugh Ogden, Dr. Dori Katz.

Something I learned at Trinity and never forgot:
I learned that it takes at least 3-4 drafts of a paper until it is well written enough and well thought out enough to submit. This is something that I pass on to my students even to this day.

I remain connected to Trinity by:
Seeing and talking with my friends Larry Pistell, Aron Pasternak and John Tyler.

Most memorable book I read while at Trinity:
The Dialogues of Plato, in a seminar with Drew Hyland. It affected my art historical research, created a desire to question everything, and has influenced my teaching style and my thought processes.

I give to Trinity because:
I want to support the excellent educational experience that Trinity can give to other students. I also give so Trinity can support the professors and their research.
