Morganne Oliver, Student, B.A. in Communication Studies

“Regent prepared me for steps I needed to take to start a business, as well as to lead one.”

Hunter Davis, J.D., 2013

“Making the switch from community college to Regent was a flawless process and the best decision ever. I’m so proud I have ‘Regent graduate’ connected to my story.”

Hanna Bishop, B.A., 2015 Christian Ministry

“When I think about Regent, I think about the wonderful people I've met here that have supported and loved me with the love of Christ, and that have helped me make this a home away from my home in Guatemala.”

Elisa Sosa, B.A., 2019 Animation

“When I came to Regent, it was really out of a place of what I call vocational desperation. I had a degree in theology, but a strong sense of calling toward film. Regent helped me sort out my future and set me on a path I never dreamed of before. Now, I'm a teacher and a filmmaker. ”

Joshua Overbay, MFA, 2010 Filmmaker

“I took a trip to the campus and was blown away by the beauty of the school. What actually won me over to finally pursue an advanced degree was the professional resources offered by the School of Communication & the Arts, as well as the curriculum.”

Jonathan Santiago, MA, 2012 Digital Media
