\"\"Angelo G. Rentas, MS
\nChair, Department of Biology<\/span>
\nAssociate Professor of Biology<\/span><\/p>\n

On faculty since 1985<\/em><\/p>\n

Rentas says that his time at Trinity College has been a blessing. He left the scientific research industry 36 years ago “determined to create and implement a full-featured God-glorifying science program at the College. Over many years I have developed special, meaningful personal relationships with faculty and staff colleagues, as well as a number of wonderful students.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Joyce A. Shelton, PhD
\nProfessor of Biology<\/span><\/p>\n

On faculty since 1988<\/em><\/p>\n

Reflecting on her time at Trinity, Dr. Shelton says she is grateful to have been able to serve the Lord by doing work that she truly loves together with godly colleagues, whom she cares for and respects. “When I think of the countless students God brought, not just into my classroom but into my life, I am both amazed and humbled. I was privileged to teach and mentor them, to pray with them, to help them grow and mature in faith, in character and in their knowledge of God\u2019s word and his world, and then, beyond graduation, to see them serving faithfully as Christ\u2019s agents of grace and truth in so many places and ways. It was a precious gift. I will miss Trinity and I continue to pray that it flourishes. It is an all too rare oasis in our increasingly uncertain world: a safe and caring community wherein students can learn and discern God\u2019s purpose for their lives.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Dori L. Karlesky, PhD
\nProfessor of Biology and Chemistry<\/span><\/p>\n

On faculty since 1989<\/em><\/p>\n

“I have been deeply blessed by the faculty I serve with and by the students I have taught,” Dr. Karlesky says. “The faculty, especially those in my division, have become more than colleagues, they are lifelong friends. The students I have been blessed to work with have challenged and encouraged me to improve in every aspect of my life. I will miss them all.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
