“I enjoyed how my professors took a personal interest in my success as a student. They were encouragers, listeners, and showed servant leadership.”
Jeff Radford, DSL, 2007
“My mentor has been incredibly generous with her time and support. She helped me develop a professional philosophy that reflects who I hope to be as a leader, and she pointed me toward resources and suggested specific conferences that could be beneficial to my professional growth. She allowed me to workshop my doctoral final project idea with her and challenged me to make a few strategic tweaks so it sits at the intersection of popular press and textbook writing, with the goal of it being something that could be used in both corporate and academic environments. She’s also been deeply supportive on a personal level, praying for me, checking in on me, and caring about me as a whole person. I’m incredibly grateful for her mentorship and truly can’t say enough good things about Dr. Duke. She is such a blessing!”
Lydia Pert, Doctor of Strategic Leadership, 2026 Mentee
“Regent University faculty have been incredibly compassionate, prayerful and flexible in supporting me academically and personally. I am a better student, person and professor because of the stellar example I have in Regent’s faculty.”
Lori Peters, DSL, 2023 Professor, The George Washington University
“A dean from another university knew the journey of my life was in the intersection between ministry and the marketplace. He said to me, ‘You need Regent University’s Doctor of Strategic Leadership program.’ And how right he was.”
Chris Holdorf, Doctor of Strategic Leadership, 2019 Executive Director, Global Water Center; Adjunct Professor, Charleston Southern University; Former CEO, National Christian Foundation
“I cannot begin to express the overwhelming joy and excitement of being mentored in Regent’s Executive Mentorship Program. I've poured into others for years – and will continue to so – but it was so refreshing, so liberating, and so empowering to have a mentor who encouraged me to pursue my goals, dreams, and aspirations. On a scale of 1 to 10, Regent’s executive mentors are a 20!”
Chenille White, Ph.D. Organizational Leadership, 2024 Mentee
