A Bantam’s Residential Experience
"Building the Community We Wish to Be" - Trinity's Campaign for Community
In the Residential Learning Community, we cultivate new and promote existing opportunities that contribute to student growth and personal development. We recognize that our students arrive on campus with a myriad of skills, capabilities, and experiences. We celebrate these accomplishments, while guiding students to opportunities that help them develop new, and enhance existing skills and competencies.
