LYNNE BETTINGER OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a senior diver on the women's swimming and diving team from Albuquerque, N.M., has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Female Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for the week ending January 29, 2012.

A three-time All-SCAC diver (three-meter) and a three-time member of the SCAC Honor Roll, Bettinger is fast becoming one of Trinity's top divers. She has earned NCAA consideration scores each of the past two seasons, and narrowly missed an invitation to the NCAA Diving Championships in 2011. This season, she was the SCAC Diver of the Week in January, following a meet against Austin College in which she won the three-meter competition, and was third on the one-meter board.

Bettinger is working on a B.S. in Neuroscience, and is an active member of both the Trinity and San Antonio communities. She is the VP of Community Service for the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), which is an on-campus organization that participates in various events in the local community. Included in those efforts are volunteer events with the San Antonio Children's Museum, and Brackenridge Park. The Children's Museum provides interactive exhibits and services, targeted towards kids aged 0-10. 

In addition to her work with NSCS, Bettinger is also a part of AED (Pre-Med Honors Society) and the Blue Key Honors Society. With the Blue Key, she does volunteer work for on-campus events, and with AED, Bettinger also participates in volunteer work at local high schools in the San Antonio area.
