Scott Berry, 2009

“We talked about how people focus on the physical, the mental, the emotional — but so many times they leave out the spiritual side. Especially as Christians, we know that’s a focal point. Regent helped me cultivate balance and discernment, and that has helped me on the mission field.”

Hannah Căldăraru, B.S. in Psychology, 2019 American Missionary in Romania

“I want to be a biomedical engineer and use it for God's glory around the world. Not only do I want to help physically, but I would also want to help spiritually and emotionally. At Regent, I grew so much mentally, spiritually and emotionally in a way I want to share with others.”

Sheila Atieno, B.S. in Biophysical Sciences, 2021 Master’s Student in Biomedical Engineering, New York University
