“Honors College classes are much more focused on discussion and working with others to solve a problem. My experience was different from school: Instead of reading other peoples' data and writing a report on it, you're forming your own data and then reporting that.”

Allison Hodgkins, College of Arts & Sciences, 2022

“We talked about how people focus on the physical, the mental, the emotional — but so many times they leave out the spiritual side. Especially as Christians, we know that’s a focal point. Regent helped me cultivate balance and discernment, and that has helped me on the mission field.”

Hannah Căldăraru, B.S. in Psychology, 2019 American Missionary in Romania

“Making the switch from community college to Regent was a flawless process and the best decision ever. I’m so proud I have ‘Regent graduate’ connected to my story.”

“Getting a Big Idea/Dreamworks internship and working on VeggieTales in the House was a dream come true. Ultimately I want to write and direct stories, regardless of what form they take. Storytelling is what I love, and I'm so grateful Regent has helped me develop that passion.”
