Presidential Search Update

Dear Friends of Trinity Christian College,

Following the departure of former President Dr. Steve Timmermans, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees formed a Presidential Search Committee.  This committee, chaired by Terry Van Der Aa, former board of trustee chairman, will lead the College in selecting its eighth president. Dr. Liz Rudenga, former provost, was appointed as interim president and has been serving faithfully in the role since June 1, 2014.

The Presidential Search Committee is composed of an experienced and dedicated group of Christians, all with deep connections to the College, who are fully committed to the mission of Trinity. The group includes representatives from Trinity’s many and diverse constituencies, including the College’s current and former Board of Trustees members, faculty, staff, administration, and student body. Many are alumni, including a former Alumni Board president.
