Residential Learning Community

Welcome to our dynamic community!

Life in the residential communities offers students various opportunities to gain meaningful experiences, build significant relationships, and create unique connections to the Trinity Community.

About Us

We hold a strong commitment to providing students with a diverse, inclusive, and caring living-learning community. To uphold this commitment, our Residential Learning Coordinators-Trinsition Fellows and Community Mentors live in residence with our students. Together, our staff cultivates opportunities that contribute to students’ growth and development. Most importantly, as part of the Nests, our staff members help guide students through their Trinity experience.

Ours is a culture of shared responsibility among all members of our residential learning community.
