“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

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

Hunter Davis, J.D., 2013

“At Regent, I was surrounded by people who exemplified servant leadership. These examples often come back to me, and I believe it’s what my industry needs now more than ever.”

Breanna Molloy, B.A., 2012

“Regent offered me ... a stepping stone towards academics, towards my future as a Christian leader to change the world, but perhaps more importantly, it gave me a community.”

Katherine Person, B.A., 2017 International Studies

“It is neat to see people who care about excellence but aren’t haughty about it. They approach it with humility in their academics, their spiritual lives, and each other.”

Hannah Lillemo, B.A., 2020 Honors Program
