“God put this in front of me. It was just on my heart, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. My kids went to college, but I never did. I love it. It feels good just to be [at Regent]. I’m learning things that I never knew.”
Karen Greenhalgh, B.A. in Christian Ministry, 2026 Former Virginia House Delegate
“At Regent, I loved the integration of Christian values that were wrapped tightly in a strong academic degree. I felt completely academically prepared to go out and help people, but I also had that very foundational core belief system that was strengthened unbelievably.”
Jada Jackson, B.A. in Communication 2009; MA in Human Services Counseling 2010 President & TV Host, Total Life Counseling; Advisor, Listeners On Call; Author; Licensed Mental Health Counselor
“The executive mentor program has incredibly benefited me as I grow in my career. As a young professional, I have learned many practical tools for developing in my career. I have also been able to share the season of life that I am in with my mentor as I am preparing to graduate from the MBA program, move, and get married. Not only has my mentor given me great professional advice but also tremendous personal advice as I learn to balance all of this. The program has been beneficial and low-stress. While it is a commitment to participate, I appreciate the mentee-led approach, which allowed me to share the areas in which I need support and also allowed us to plan around our schedules. The program has been incredibly beneficial without being burdensome.”
Moriah Scott, MBA, 2025 Mentee
“Thank you Regent University for making the most out of this special day for the Class of 2020.”
Richard Sarmiento, M.Div., 2020 Recruiting Specialist, Accenture Federal Services
“Regent definitely prepared me every step of the way, from a summer internship and moot court competitions to working with Singer Legal Group and securing a clerkship. I wouldn’t have had those same opportunities anywhere else.”
Kevin Hoffman, J.D., 2014
