Seapointe College is a mentorship-driven Christian college focused on preparing students for leadership, community care, and meaningful work.
On my recent GETT Podcast episode I had the unique experience to talk with Dr. Sarah Hummel; Founder and President of Seapointe College, an institution dedicated to biblical leadership for community care, strategically situated in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia with a strong commitment to diversity, discipleship, resilience, followership, and communal learning. In this episode we explored leadership development and how Seapointe is all about instilling personal values and sound decision-making skills in thousands of individuals from diverse backgrounds and many organizations within the Hampton Roads community.
