IMPORTANT Reminder about Class Notes Photos Now that The Trinity Reporter has opened Class Notes to general interest Trinityrelated photos in addition to wedding photos, we want to be certain that everyone understands the guidelines for submission. Please send ONLY highresolution photos (generally with a file size of at least 1 MB). Low-resolution photos, while fine for websites, will not reproduce well in a printed publication. Also, please keep in mind that we can’t promise to publish all photos that we receive as some issues may have more space than others, but please know that we will do our best. We reserve the right to decide what is published based on available space, photo quality, and photo content. We invite you to e-mail high-resolution photos and complete caption information to sonya.adams@ trincoll.edu.
