I hope all have enjoyed the wonderful weather these past few days. Now
we’re at October Break which seems to have both arrived quickly and also just
when we all need it.
For all of you: Get some sleep. Get some exercise. Catch up with friends and family and take some time to catch up on work if need be.
TrumBulletin: Oct. 7th, 2019
I hope all enjoyed Family Weekend this past weekend and that workloads are not becoming too stressed. (Yet know, October break is coming up. That can be really helpful in terms of catching up on both sleep and work.)
I hope you have gotten the courses you wish, that all is going well and that you are enjoying the start of fall, the good weather, and your courses.
For those of you new to the Northeast, savor this weather, enjoy the changing of the leaves but also do plan for colder weather and be sure you have a good coat, boots, gloves and hat for the coming winter. (Ask a northeasterner for advice on what to get). Just when the first truly cold days will hit is a bit unpredictable but I urge you to be ready by mid-October.

After returning from spring break, time always seems to whip by. Today is the last official day of classes for the semester. It’s time for Pamplona in the college, then Spring Fling, then reading week and, finally, finals.
For the moment do relax. Enjoy the (finally) warmer weather
Congratulations: Trumbull has won the Gimbel Cup

As usual, I can’t believe the semester is almost over. Next week is the last week of classes and then there is reading period and finals. From now until the end of finals there will be many papers due and many exams accompanied by many study breaks later and early in the morning.
I wish everyone the best as we all work hard. Pace yourself. Do your best. Get enough sleep. Get some exercise. Be supportive of one another (and quiet as people work).
