“My mentor has been incredibly generous with her time and support. She helped me develop a professional philosophy that reflects who I hope to be as a leader, and she pointed me toward resources and suggested specific conferences that could be beneficial to my professional growth. She allowed me to workshop my doctoral final project idea with her and challenged me to make a few strategic tweaks so it sits at the intersection of popular press and textbook writing, with the goal of it being something that could be used in both corporate and academic environments. She’s also been deeply supportive on a personal level, praying for me, checking in on me, and caring about me as a whole person. I’m incredibly grateful for her mentorship and truly can’t say enough good things about Dr. Duke. She is such a blessing!”

“Learning in the classroom is really important, but unless you apply it, it is wasted. Being involved in the community at Regent and seeing how the school helps young people become passionate about what they believe in or feel called to do, inspired me.”
