Success Stories

“One of the biggest skills I learned through my studies at Regent was confidence. I learned that I am worthy, and I can go forward in my career and affect more students than just those in my own classroom.”
Kathy Galford, Ed.D., 2018 School Principal, Chesapeake Public Schools
“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 thank God for making a way to provide this financial gift. It made it possible to finish my program and move forward to fulfill my purpose.”
Jessica Louis Pierre, M.A. in Practical Theology, 2021 Scholarship Recipient
“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.”
Spencer Brown, B.A. , 2016
“I was so glad that I was able to study at the Regent University School of Divinity and earn my Master of Theological Studies (MTS). It has changed my perspective. After attending seminary, I have a different understanding of how to interpret God’s Word. Through the church history courses, I now see how important it is to know what kind of church Jesus is building today!”
Pastor Kevin Wu, Master of Theological Studies, 2016
