It also covers the cost of the production of Trinity’s biweekly student newspaper, Mars’ Hill, and the annual Pillar Yearbook. TWUSA hosts over a dozen campus-wide events, as well as school and faculty-specific events and sets aside a portion of the Student Association Fee in order to fund student-originated campus initiatives.
