Regent University Positioning Statement

Reason and Faith — together. They're what make us different. Here, we're committed to a heritage of rigorous scholarship dating back over a thousand years, and to a faith tradition dating back a thousand more. This is how we create a culture of inquiry where no topic is off limits, and a culture of hope where anything's possible. It's the freedom to think for ourselves and a responsibility to act on behalf of others. It's Christian leadership, and it's changing the world for the better.

It's higher learning. It's greater knowing. It's what makes us whole. It's what makes us Regent.

5 Alumnus of the Year

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS Address from Ann J. Buwalda, Esq.

Obstacles and struggles are part of life. Ten of Israel’s 12 spies returned from the Promised Land saying, "We … saw giants … we felt like grasshoppers" (Numbers 13:33). The other two, Joshua and Caleb, saw the same giants but believed that with God’s help they could be conquered: "Let us go up at once and possess it … for we are well able" (v. 30). That’s the language of a winner: "With God’s help." Prayer is the essential key to obtaining God’s help. Prayer encompasses spending time in God’s presence and through His Word. I am honored and blessed with Regent University recognizing me as Alumnus of the Year. It is definitely amazing to be Ann J. Buwalda, Esq. selected amongst such prestigious alums, and I know that the School of Law, ‘90 accomplishments of colleagues in their various vocations have Robertson School of Government, conquered “giants” in their professional fields. I graduated from School of Communication ‘91 three programs at Regent, within the School of Law in 1990 and, jointly, in International Cross-Cultural Communication and Government in 1991. As a practicing attorney handling immigration cases, as well as directing an advocacy ministry to the persecuted Church around the world, I use the knowledge I gained at Regent every single day. I have learned, however, that knowledge alone, as great as it is to have achieved and conquered your textbooks and term papers, does not give you the courage to conquer your giant. Faith gives you that courage. Prayer and relationship with God give you the faith that you need to conquer your giant. Understand this: God has a plan for your life, but you’ll never fulfill it until you come into agreement with His Word. God uses imperfect people, and that makes us realize that He alone is our Source, our Strength, our Strategy, and the Secret to our success. You have a God-ordained destiny. How God sees you isn’t the problem; it’s how you see yourself that keeps you from succeeding! So, ask God to give you a new understanding of how He sees you — loved, righteous, blessed, and favored! Remember Romans 8:37, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

About Ann Buwalda Ms. Ann Buwalda has devoted her energies and legal training to seeking justice for the oppressed, including performing extensive human rights activism. Buwalda became executive director for Jubilee Campaign USA in 1991 when she launched the organization in the Washington, D.C. area. Jubilee Campaign undertakes advocacy for and promotes the human rights and religious liberty of ethnic and religious minorities around the world. Buwalda also founded and is managing attorney in the immigration law firm Just Law International, PC. Ms. Buwalda has taught Refugee and Human Rights Law as an adjunct professor at Handong International Law School in Korea, and she has also served as adjunct professor at Regent University School of Law. In 1991, she completed two master's degrees at Regent University, one in Public Policy from the Robertson School of Government and the other in International/ Cross-Cultural Communication. In 1990, Buwalda graduated from Regent University School of Law earning a Juris Doctor. Since 2000 she has served on the law school’s Alumni Board.

6 Regent, Host of Faith and Learning

Words by The Honorable John D. Ashcroft Music by The Honorable Robert Robinson

Regent host of faith and reason Framed in God’s own law and grace As we meditate and study He instructs us for life’s race; Vision of God’s pure intention Sacrifice to make it live Fellowship in His creation God inspires our hearts to give.

As we turn our face toward heaven God directs our hands to need. When we kneel to make petition He endows so we can lead. Integrating faith and learning Spirit, body, mind for Thee Regent working for the Kingdom Now and for eternity.

Workers ever in His Kingdom Now and in eternity.

Celebrating Our 40th Commencement Ceremony

7 Academic Regalia

The wearing of academic regalia dates back to the 12th century and has been a tradition in American academic institutions since colonial days. The associate and bachelor's gowns worn in traditional ceremonies fall in a straight line and have pointed sleeves. The long black master’s and doctoral gowns are similar except for the sleeves, which are oblong on the master’s gown and bell-shaped on the doctoral gown. The doctoral gown also has velvet trimmings on the front and sleeves, with the three bars signifying the number of degrees of the graduate. In recent years, several institutions have elected to change the graduate gown color to their official school colors.

The graduates’ hoods are lined with colors representing the degree-granting institution (e.g., blue and green for Regent University) and edged in colors representing the degree, major or discipline (other than Ph.D.s, which are all dark blue):

Crimson...... Communication, Journalism Brown...... Fine Arts Royal Blue...... Leadership Studies, Doctor of Philosophy Scarlet...... Divinity White...... Counseling Purple...... Law Drab...... Business Light Blue...... Education Apricot...... Nursing Peacock Blue...... Government Gold...... Cybersecurity and Doctor of Psychology

These strangely shaped hoods originally served the very practical purpose of helping medieval scholars keep their heads warm while they worked in unheated university buildings. The most common master’s and bachelor’s cap is the four-cornered mortarboard. Doctoral candidates wear the traditional six-sided tam.

Red, white and blue honor cords are awarded to active duty and honorably discharged veterans of our nation's military service branches. We salute these service men and women for their academic achievements and for their duty and sacrifice to our country.

Gold honor stoles are awarded to those recognized as recipients of Latin honors. Other cords are bestowed to members of one of the following academic honor societies: Alpha Phi Sigma, Beta Phi, Chi Sigma Iota, Lambda Pi Eta, Phi Alpha Delta, Pi Sigma Alpha, Psi Chi, Sigma Beta Delta and Sigma Tau Delta. Student Government leaders are also wearing cords with the Regent colors of royal blue and green.

College of Arts & Sciences Honors Program graduates receive a bronze medallion secured by a blue and green ribbon. Students admitted to the Honors Program have an exceptional resume of academic and extracurricular performance in high school and must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA while completing a rigorous core curriculum taught over the period of four years.

The gold pin embossed with the Regent shield signifies graduates advancing the mission of the university through encouraging stewardship opportunities, leadership and outreach as members of the Student Alumni Ambassadors organization.
