Student Mentoring Group

The Every Voice student mentoring group provides an opportunity for mentoring and community for ethnic minority and Majority World students in Christian theological education. Each cohort will have a scholar-mentor who will facilitate monthly meetings (online) and offer encouragement and counsel. Monthly meetings will focus on topics such as navigating academia, developing conference papers, and best practices for success and holistic flourishing.

2026–2027 Cohorts

Eligibility

The cohorts are open to ethnic minority and Majority World students who are currently enrolled in any program of study in theological education at the undergraduate, Master’s, or doctoral levels. Since each cohort will be limited to 6–8 students and the program is designed to provide community, only committed students should apply.

Faculty Mentors

carroll
Dr. M. Daniel Carrol R.
Professor of Old Testament Emeritus,
Wheaton College

Danny is the author of many books and essays, including a commentary on Amos (NICOT, Eerdmans), The Bible and Borders: Hearing God’s Word on Immigration (Brazos), and “Latino/a Biblical Interpretation” (in Scripture and Its Interpretation: An Ecumenical, Global Introduction to the Bible). Being half-Guatemalan, he was raised bilingual and bicultural, spending many summers in Guatemala, and later taught at El Seminario Teológico Centroamericano in Guatemala City for thirteen years. The sociopolitical realities in Central America sparked his fascination with the Old Testament, especially the prophetic literature and Old Testament social ethics. In his work he seeks to read the text from his Latino background and theological convictions and to handle the text technically well. For many years he has been involved in Hispanic churches and immigration reform.

Moody (Wipf and Stock). She will also be contributing to the Pillar Old Testament Commentary series on the book of Lamentations (Eerdmans). Growing up as an Asian American in the suburbs of Chicago, she is aware of the issues of diversity and has been encouraged by the growing contribution of multiethnic voices in theological education. She currently lives in the Indianapolis area.
