KATHLEEN O'CONNOR BOELHOUWER '85

I chose to attend Trinity because:
Someone I admired from high school (Dale Sindell) had gone there; my visit during a snow storm and the warmth I felt from everyone we met; proximity to NY and Boston and the internships available; the ability to perform as a musician while studying other subjects.

My fondest Trinity memory:
They include freshman year in Jackson; my internship at the New York Philharmonic (thanks to Joe Kluger '77); my semester in London, but really in Rome; reading on the Quad; seeing international films at Cinestudio; dancing in Hamlin Hall; Professor Potter taking us to Vermont to discuss the poetry of Frost; all my friends and meeting my future husband.

My favorite Trinity professor:
Gerry Moshell and our first year seminar as well as Borden Painter.

Something I learned at Trinity and never forgot:
If you show interest in something and ask questions, the professors at Trinity will go any length to work with you.

I remain connected to Trinity by:
Working at Trinity and my Trinity family.

Most memorable book I read while at Trinity:
My senior seminar class interviewed Fred Pfeil (and recommended him) and he made Pynchon (somewhat) accessible. I loved reading Shakespeare in Professor Hunter's class.

I give to Trinity because:
Trinity students are so fortunate to be part of a community where people know who they are and care about who they will become. Trinity does so much and yet does not have the same level of financial support from its alumni (or endowment value) as its peers. We need to build Trinity's financial future; as alumni it is our responsibility.
