Megan Uren ’20 is an international studies major from Colorado. After graduation, she plans to attend the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Megan recalls being on an OREC spring break trip in the Big Bend National Park, far away from phone service, when the COVID-19 situation began to escalate across the country.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“I was unaware of the chaos and fear building and instead canoeing and camping down the Rio Grande with really incredible people from Trinity. I’m very glad my last days in Texas for the time being were spent that way. The ball dropped on us when we crept back into cell phone service at the end of our trip. We pulled into the small town of Marathon, Texas to gas up the van, and our friend turned on his phone–and it was then that we all learned that the world was turning upside down.”⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Megan didn’t expect her time at Trinity to end the way it did, but she has been using positivity and warmth, something she was known and loved for around campus, to bring people together during this time. When asked about what she will miss most about Trinity, Megan points to the community and all of the wonderful friends she has made.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
“There are not enough words possible to express the friendship and family that I built at Trinity over my four years. I miss them every day. In a weird way, I feel grateful to feel sad, because it means that my time at Trinity was meaningful and special.”⁣⁣⁣
