Coleen Grissom is a professor of English at Trinity University and the author of The World According to Coleen and A Novel Approach to Life . A faculty member at Trinity for more than fifty years, she has received "honorary alumna" status and a scholarship in her honor. As dean of students and later vice president for student affairs, she has mentored, counseled, and influenced the lives of thousands of students.
