Presidential Search Committee

The Trinity Board of Regents has appointed a Presidential Search Committee to begin the process of selecting the next president of Trinity International University.

People Management, a respected executive search consulting firm, has been selected to work with Trinity International University in the search. They have already had a working session with the search committee and are off to a good start. Interviews with representative senior staff, faculty, students, key supporters, and Board members have begun, and a web posting will be established when interviews are completed and the President "Opportunity Profile" has been finalized. This web-based piece will be the primary means of getting word out about the search.
