Trinity Christian College 2021 Alumni Survey

The survey is now closed. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the alumni office.
Dear Alumni,

The Trinity Christian College alumni office exists to serve you. It is our hope that communications, events, resources and opportunities would always provide value to you and to your Trinity degree. It has been a very long time since we took the time to listen and hear what matters most to you. In order for us to serve our alumni in the best way possible, we need to better understand what is beneficial as well as what can be improved. 

Your opinions and concerns are an important part of our planning efforts and will help our office, the Alumni Board, and campus administration allocate the necessary resources to serve you best. Please help us better understand what you expect of your alma mater by completing this survey. Your input is critical to helping us meet your expectations.

Thank you in advance for your participation. We want to hear from all alumni, and are committed to taking action based on the feedback you provide.

Go Trolls!
