Trinity’s student body and families reflect the world as they travel from the greater Orlando area and across the nation to take part in the Trinity experience.
A full-time position at Trinity consists of serving as an advisor, teaching 5 classes, and assuming additional duties as assigned. For example, all faculty are expected to have a plus one, which is a major leadership responsibility outside of the classroom.
