TRINITY UNIVERSITY FACULTY SENATE

Senate Core Mission

In the interest of promoting the well-being of the University, the Faculty Senate represents the faculty in professional matters and works with the Administration to formulate, interpret, and implement general university policy.

University President Search

The Faculty Senate encourages faculty members and others to visit and contribute to the university's Presidential Search web site.  Questions, comments, and suggestions may be sent to presidentialsearch@trinity.edu.

Minutes for Senate meetings will be posted monthly to the Senate's Blackboard page and will reflect the Senate's activities related to the search process.
