Audrey Bilbraut ’24
Ph.D. in Counseling & Psychological Studies"Great education—top notch! Rigorous curriculum that takes on real work-life demands while incorporating sound Biblical principles."
Andrew Kartchner
J.D., 2013"I make it my personal mission to show the legal world that Regent offers a top-notch legal education and produces lawyers who are highly skilled in their profession and have integrity in their conduct. My goal is to inspire every attorney, judge and client I meet to seek out Regent alumni when they are looking to hire a lawyer."
Adriana Pounds
Ph.D. Organizational Leadership, 2024"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."
