Inspiring Leaders
Innovative and provocative, they challenge you and each other. Alums say working with faculty mentors was among the most valuable experiences of their Drew education.
As I developed my DMin project, a trauma-informed ministry model, Dr. Samuel helped me work through my initial ideas and refine them to be user-friendly. She guided me in transitioning my project from an academic endeavor to a practical model that I now use successfully in the church setting. She was extremely available and always made every effort to assist in any way she could. ”
