Corrynn Peters, Juris Doctor (J.D.), 2003 Founding Partner of Phillips & Peters, PLLC

“I knew from the minute I stepped on campus that Regent was where God called me to be. I felt this overwhelming sense of love and peace that passed all understanding.”

Isabella Keck, Bachelor's, 2028

“The executive mentor program has incredibly benefited me as I grow in my career. As a young professional, I have learned many practical tools for developing in my career. I have also been able to share the season of life that I am in with my mentor as I am preparing to graduate from the MBA program, move, and get married. Not only has my mentor given me great professional advice but also tremendous personal advice as I learn to balance all of this. The program has been beneficial and low-stress. While it is a commitment to participate, I appreciate the mentee-led approach, which allowed me to share the areas in which I need support and also allowed us to plan around our schedules. The program has been incredibly beneficial without being burdensome.”

Moriah Scott, MBA, 2025 Mentee
