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.

Business Degree

Tuesday.

I've had a long day! I went to Sarasota on business this morning and afternoon. It was a fun morning because this older couple came into the courthouse and they were getting married! Right there! Marilyn and Arthur Miller style! They were so adorable. The girl behind the counter got so excited that they were going to purchase the ceremony in their "wedding parlor" she forgot to charge them for the marriage license. And then the gentleman put the purchase on a credit card! I don't know... I was standing there and thinking that this was like something out of SNL. But they looked so, so happy.

A few minutes ago, called to check in on mom and dad in Jacksonville and they are getting checked in themselves to their hotel for the evening, preparing for dad's appointment in the morning. I have this great neck massager around my neck that works really well... Just don't call me right now because I might sound funny.

I'm watching the Style network while I'm letting this heat massager do its magic, and an eHarmony commercial came on, and there was this couple highlighted... and, I kid you not, I saw the SAME man, but with a different woman, on LAST week's eHarmony commercial! Is this possible? Who's going to get fired over it?
