Training and Mentoring
Denver Seminary's training and mentoring program, started by former president Clyde McDowell in 1998, was the first of its kind among evangelical, theological schools and led to an increase in student enrollment. The training and mentoring program places students with a team of mentors who help them design and pursue up to two learning contracts each semester, one focusing on spiritual growth and a second on professional development.

Famous quotes containing the words training and/or mentoring:
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby. Yet the middle position offers great training for the real world of lowered expectations, negotiation, and compromise. Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“Never be intimidated when you deal with men. Curse, don’t cry.”
—Anonymous, U.S. professional woman. As quoted in Aspirations and Mentoring in an Academic Environment, ch. 4, by Mary Niles Maack and Joanne Passet (1994)
