"It's a Trine Thing sheds light on the Trine way, a level of quality and standard of excellence that goes above and beyond. Trine Things are our values, traits and points of distinction, our qualities and characteristics that set us apart. With so much to be proud of, we believe it's time to express these Things that truly make us Trine University. When it comes to our commitment to excellence and the Trine way, there's no question... It's a Trine Thing."
An online platform is available to all Trine University students to showcase their accomplishments in and out of the classroom through a service called Merit. The setup is simple: Trine University publishes your accomplishments (like making the dean’s list, joining a choir or receiving a scholarship) to your own personal Merit page. As new achievements, in the form of badges, are awarded, you are notified via email.
Once you claim your page, you can choose to share your accomplishments through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a variety of other platforms and a link can be included on your resume as it provides a verified list of achievements that were awarded during your college career. Merit also creates personalized press releases that are sent to local newspapers and websites across the country promoting achievements in students’ home areas.
