Andrew Marks comes to Trinity with a wealth of experience in the higher education sector.

Marks began his career at Calumet College of St. Joseph following his time as a student at the college. After 22 years at Calumet, holding various roles across the college, he is eager to bring the expertise he has gained to Trinity. “I have really enjoyed working in many different roles over the years and have a strong understanding of the many facets within higher education,” stated Marks. “Bringing this knowledge to my role at Trinity is exciting and gives me energy; I hope to bring that same energy to the team and look forward to learning from them along the way.”

He holds a Master of Science in Management with a concentration in organizational leadership, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems, and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, all from Calumet College of St. Joseph. His various roles over the years have given way to a unique skill set for this leadership position. Marks spent several of his years as Sports Information Director, Assistant Athletic Director, Head Coach for both Men’s and Women’s Volleyball, and later Director of Enrollment Management. Most recently, he served as Assistant Vice President for Athletics and Enrollment and served on the board of trustees at the college from 2017 – 2021.

Marks is excited about the future of Trinity Christian College. He feels confident that now is the right time to join the team and work towards the vision of what higher education will look like in the future. “Giving students an option to work towards a debt-free degree is unbelievable, but it’s exactly what is needed. I can’t wait to get to work with the team to push that mission forward together.”

Trinity drew Hannah Wasco because it felt like family. She felt it as a student and continues to feel this way working on campus. She believes this really speaks to how special Trinity is. But most of all, she loves being able to work with students and is inspired by their creativity, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

One of the things that she loves about her job is that there is no “typical day.” Since her primary responsibilities are to coordinate new student orientation and involvement, many of her daily tasks change as the academic year progresses, just like it does for the students. Some days include meetings with Student Activities (STAC) leaders to plan exciting events, while other days involve collaborating with other offices on campus to implement the Thrive curriculum for new incoming students.

Before coming to Trinity, she worked at a few other higher education institutions, including the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities in Washington, D.C., and the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. She has experience in admissions, student conduct, new student orientation, as well as residence life and case management.

During her off hours, she enjoys reading, baking, and exploring new neighborhoods and nature trails. She also tries to travel as much as she can because she loves a good road trip.

Go Trolls!

Linda graduated from Trinity Christian College in 2009 with a BA in Psychology. She received her MA in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton College in 2011. She has worked as a Child and Family Therapist in the Chicago area. Before Trinity, she was the Program Director for a non-profit, overseeing social services, community programs, and pastoral work.

Linda (and Luis) have three children. Andy, Genoveva, and Rafael. Rafael happens to have down syndrome. This extra chromosome has enriched her life and changed how she views the body of Christ. She loves to learn about advocacy and hopes to be part of the change in our society to implement inclusive practices.

She was drawn back to Trinity because it allowed her to grow, learn, and develop as a Christian and student. She hopes to build genuine relationships with students and be part of their support system so they can succeed as students and flourish in the body of Christ.
