Dr. Trini Rangel serves as a Professor of Sport and Exercise Science at Milligan University, where he also chairs the Area of Sport and Exercise Science and serves as the Faculty Athletics Representative. His dissertation was a holistic view of obesity, particularly exploring its relationship to religiosity, social support, and depression. Dr. Rangel is also passionate about secondary dataset research, which further informs his academic work and teaching.

Dr. Rangel has been part of a faith community for as long as he can remember. Much of his faith journey took form while attending a Christian junior and senior high school. It was at this point that his faith became a personal experience and continues to guide him many years later.

His favorite part of serving at Milligan is our energizing students! With a diverse student population in many respects, he enjoys working with students on the full spectrum of faith, educational background, and experiences.
