“I was able to start with 15 credit hours toward the leadership program. But little did I know that, through research, the application of biblical principles and the Christian environment, God would speak to me.”
Chad Rose, M.A. in Organizational Leadership, 2020 Lieutenant Colonel - Reserve (Retired); American Airlines Airbus Captain
“My mentor is providing insight about the program and helping me navigate expectations and motivation to give myself grace. He is also helping me to understand my purpose and the change maker I am. He provides experience and insight about his time in the DSL program. I am thankful for my mentor and the wisdom he provides. It has been very meaningful, and I look forward to continuing this mentorship. I believe this program is vital to being in the DSL program and really all programs at Regent if it were to be implemented. The guidance and mentorship are amazing, and I am thankful to be a part of this program”
Omar Ross, Doctor of Strategic Leadership, 2029 Mentee
“I wanted an education that would better prepare me both academically and spiritually. As a Christian, I'm always looking for ways to transform the world with the love of Christ, and I believe that's exactly what is happening right now thanks to my Regent experience.”
Geralde Gabeau, DSL, 2016 Deputy Director of Youth & Family Enrichment Services
“My mentor is guiding my thinking process by giving me great wisdom on how to navigate through the job hunting process and interview process as well. He is also helping me to shape more into the leader that I desire to become in the workplace. I think this mentor program is very beneficial, especially when the mentee has a great match with a mentor that fits their needs. I personally have benefited and grown so much because I was paired with someone who met my spiritual and professional goals and has had the experience to guide me to where I am today.”
Adriana Pounds, Ph.D. Organizational Leadership, 2024 Mentee
“The Executive Mentor Program was precisely what I needed to clarify my future. It broadened my perspective, inspired hope, and gave me a sense of purpose. Words can't fully capture how much this experience has influenced my professional goals, helping me define my current status and my future ambitions. I'm grateful to my mentor, Dr. Lenz, for his ongoing support and the resources provided to help me achieve my project goals. Thanks to him, I am on the verge of making a meaningful impact in my career as an entrepreneur educator.”
Joseph Uwagaba, DBA, 2028 Mentee
