Last year I had the privilege of being in a class with Dr. Robert Rhoden as part of my graduate studies. He told us about a mentoring group that he hosts with the students of VFCC. They select a few of the potential leaders from the student body through an application process and then host meetings throughout the school year to offer mentorship. Part of the experience is a tour of leadership in which Dr. Rhoden leverages relationships that he has with outstanding leaders around the mid-atlantic. He sets up a five day experience that takes these students off campus to D.C. where they interact with Leaders like Mark Batterson, Barry Black (chaplain of the Senate), and others. It is really meant to be a stretching type of experience. Stretching students to think beyond the boundaries of what they may have envisioned for their future.
Dr. Rhoden has invited me to be part of it. I'll be attending March 25-28th. I'm really excited about it and thankful for the opportunity.
