To address this, Talbot has provided the following:

• Personal Foundations of Ministry Class

  Awareness of personal strengths and weaknesses with a growth covenant

• Networking and Mentoring

  Networking and mentoring "caring couples", faculty mentored small groups, and accountability to an advisor

• Assessment

  Assessment of emotional status, lifelong traits, and formal reviews of progress

• Special Events

  New student retreats, spiritual retreats, marital retreats, and a baccalaureate celebrationareness of personal strengths and weaknesses with a growth covenant
