Stryker Watts, Senator for Business
Sophomore
Hello. My name is Stryker and I am proud to be representing the undergraduate business program. This is my second year at Regent and my emphasis is marketing with a communication minor. As an advertising/public relations enthusiast, I am looking forward to taking the business world by storm so I can later make a difference in politics or in the non-profit sector for Christ. I think the Lord has great things in store for this university and I am excited to be a part of it. I also really like coffee.
Gabrielle Barrale, Senator for Christian Ministry
Sophomore
Hello. I am majoring in Christian Ministry and feel a call to work within a church. Regent University's pursuit of excellence first impressed me, and I have continued to grow in my respect for Regent throughout this year. I came here at the beginning of the fall semester from Pennsylvania. Before I lived in Pennsylvania, my family and I spent ten and a half years as missionaries in Germany and Austria. Now that I am entering my second year at Regent, I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve all Christian Ministry majors.

Regent University has impacted me in various ways, and I consider it very close to my heart. Here I find my best friends, spiritual growth and guidance, and the best education for Cinema/Television. My goal is for God to use me for His purposes, and I hope to be able to enhance the Cinema/Television program and other activities at Regent University.

Rebecca Faucette, Senator for Government
Junior
Coming to Regent as a transfer student, I was excited to broaden my horizons by living in a different state, getting the collegiate experience from a Christian perspective, and interacting daily with students and professors. Throughout the school year, in forming relationships with students and faculty, I developed a desire to serve others by becoming a student leader. Now, I am excited to serve on RUC and look forward to seeing where God will lead in the year ahead.
I hail from the small town of Sellersville, Pennsylvania. I love small towns, politics, volleyball, and making new friends. I hope that my service on the Council glorifies God and improves the collegiate experience for incoming students.
Josh Wilmoth, Senator for History
Sophomore
I am majoring in History because I feel that it is important to have knowledge of the past so that humanity can better provide for the future. I decided to run for RUC because I think that RUC's job, serving as a liaison between students and faculty, is vital to establishing a homogenous community that is working towards our ultimate goals as Christians: glorifying Christ and serving others. I have spent most of my life in Southeastern Virginia and I enjoy playing most sports. In addition to serving on RUC I work at Hero's Sports Cards in Virginia Beach. I am honored to serve as History Senator for the 2011-2012 school year.
Jessie Copher, Senator for Math
Junior
"Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered..." (Mathew 10:30, emphasis added).
God always takes such good care of us. For me, the most recent (and amazing) evidence of this fact is my presence in Regent's math program. With my lifelong grudge against mathematics (probably due to the Saxon series' drab approach to teaching mathematics), I little expected to find myself falling in love with this magical, mysterious world called "math." Yet God knew (and still knows) me far better than I know myself...
I've joined RUC so I can help share this joy that God has given me with math majors and non-math majors alike. Together, we can build up a community of love and Christ-like servanthood here at Regent. God bless!
