Student Mentoring Cohort

Every Voice student mentoring cohorts provide 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 Cohort

Dates

Our next cohort will run from September 2026–June 2027, and applications will open in spring 2026.

Eligibility

The cohort is 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 seven students and the program is designed to provide community, only committed students should apply.

Dr. Miguel G. Echevarría, Jr.
Associate Professor of NT and Greek Southeastern Seminaryd

As a person of Cuban descent, Dr. Echevarría appreciates the contributions that Latinos make to theological education, which are often overlooked in majority culture contexts. As a result, he believes that valuing the voices and contributions of Latinos and other underrepresented groups leads to a more biblical vision of education in Christian colleges and seminaries. He is the author of The Future Inheritance of Land in the Pauline Epistles (Pickwick), Engaging the New Testament (Baker), 40 Questions About the Apostle Paul (Kregel Academic, co-authored with Benjamin P. Laird), and short commentaries on John and 1, 2, 3 John in The New Testament in Color: A Multiethnic Commentary on the New Testament (IVP).
