Trinity RotarACT History

The Trinity University branch of Rotaract was established over ten years ago, but has experienced greatly fluctuating enrollment, alternating between being a strong community service group and a scarcely noticeable presence. However, as of January 2009, Trinity Rotaract has joined forces with a relatively new campus group, Trinity ACT. Trinity ACT recruited as many as 20-30 members during the fall 2008 semester, but lacked the bureaucratic legitimacy that Rotaract had long since established with the Campus and Community Involvement office of Trinity. So, in an effort to become more effective and valid in both the Trinity community and the larger San Antonio community, members of the two groups have come together under RotarACT to contribute meaningful volunteer endeavors. Although we endorse and applaud the widespread work of TUVAC (Trinity University Volunteer Action Community), RotarACT’s mission is to maintain a relatively small group of committed individuals who collaborate throughout the school year to make volunteer contributions that significantly affect the residents of the city of San Antonio. Future blogs will describe recent activities of Trinity Rotaract, as well as our upcoming events.
