Trinity Christian College has appointed Jeanine Mozie, its executive vice president and chief operating officer, as acting president, the Board of Trustees announced this week.
Mozie lives in the south suburbs of Chicago and is in her tenth year at the Palos Heights institution. She previously served as chief of staff in the president’s office and held leadership roles in enrollment, including admissions, financial aid, marketing and community partner development.
“Stepping into the role of acting president while continuing my responsibilities as executive vice president and chief operating officer signifies my commitment to the College during this period of transition,” Mozie said. “It is a privilege to support the faculty, staff, and students of this remarkable community and to help carry forward the important work we share.”
She said her deepest commitment is “to build on Trinity’s rich and transformational legacy that has shaped generations, to center the well being of our students, and to further the vital work of Christian higher education. I am grateful to walk alongside this community as we pursue our mission together—to prepare students to live faithfully and boldly in God’s world.”
Mozie holds an MBA in strategic innovation and entrepreneurship from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a bachelor’s degree in psychology and neuroscience from Hope College in Michigan.
She said what excites her most about the role is the impact of education itself.
“I am passionate about the power of education to transform both individuals and communities, and I believe Christian higher education offers a unique and profound way to do this work in the world—as a community whose mission is deeply rooted in the Christian values of justice, humility, and love,” Mozie said.
Founded in 1959, Trinity Christian College is a private Christian liberal arts school at 6601 W. College Drive in Palos Heights that enrolls more than 1,000 students.
