Why Regent University?

Regent University offered a unique perspective in undergraduate studies. Christ-centered leadership and biblically centered classes develop students professionally and personally. The campus is beautiful, and I soon found that my professors and my fellow students exuded enthusiasm and dedication to the Lord and their educational pursuits. Classmates prayed with me and for me; studying became a group effort towards excellence and not just another homework assignment.

Why Online Learning?

I was 21 when I started the online learning program at Regent University. I had the opportunity to dual-enroll in a local college while in high school, so my associates degree was partially complete when I graduated in 2002. I hit the ground running by working full time after graduating from high school, attending night classes to finish my associates degree. I guess I got used to the schedule, and when it came time to find a university to transfer to, I knew I'd want a flexible format that would allow me to continue in my professional endeavors.

Why A Business Degree?

My degree is in Organizational Leadership and Management. I chose this concentration because of the unique mix of business strategy and leadership development. In choosing a degree program I wanted one that would emphasize the "people" part of organizations and their strategic development. Some degree programs focus primarily on the financial and strategic side of business development, but Regent stressed the importance of the organization's people and the effectiveness of biblical leadership.

Dad's News

I have news about Dad! The x-rays came back negative for cancer in other areas. He has had an additional test done that does not indicate that the cancer has spread... definitely an answer to prayer because had there been cancerous spots in other areas he would not be a candidate for the proton therapy. Praise God! Also, he is walking without a cast and without crutches. He's still limping a little bit but way better than before. Jeremy and Mom surprised him for Christmas by having his car repainted and boy, will he be happy to be driving soon.

Dad and mom are going to Jacksonville tomorrow for their initial appointment for the Proton Therapy. They plan to stay overnight and go to the appointment on Wednesday morning, because it is at 8:00 AM, after which we should have more information on when he will begin treatment.

I apologize for not giving an update sooner on his healing but greatly appreciate your continued prayers. He's not out of the woods yet, but definitely feeling at peace about this other option for treatment in Jacksonville.
