An important member of the crew that maintains Trinity’s award-winning campus left at the end of November.  Mr. Stephen Terry, a 2001 alumnus who joined the maintenance crew in 2005, left to begin an apprenticeship at Wagner Electric, working full time while attending school. Terry hopes to become a fully licensed electrician in four years.

Before leaving, Terry said, “I’m not disappointed that this is where I ended up, because Trinity has been good to me, and I have a good relationship with my colleagues. It has been a better working experience because I am an alumnus. One of the things that I enjoy most is seeing the students start as freshmen, and before you know it, I’ve see them go through four years of school and then graduate.” IMG_5710

Part of Terry’s duties included checking in with  Mr. Bill Hogg, facilities manager, to receive work orders for the day and notice of upcoming events that needed preparation. His work also included general campus repair and maintenance.

Terry, along with the other staff members, also directed students involved in the Work Study program during the school year and summer.

Terry said, “I love it here, but there is only so much that I can do. I’ve felt like I have done all I can.”
