In a remarkable testament to the transformative nature of intergenerational mentorship, Lynne Warrick, a distinguished community leader approaching her 100th birthday, has played a pivotal role in shaping the values and vision of Global Oved Dei Seminary and University, a International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-tertiary and Higher Education accredited institution. With a wealth of experience spanning nearly a century, Warrick's mentorship has greatly influenced the institution's commitment to education, training, and institutional excellence, leading to its recent training accreditation by the Quality Assurance in Higher Education (QAHE).
The connection between Warrick and Global Oved Dei Seminary and University was forged in 2019 when Dr. Willis Eubanks, the founder of the institution, introduced Warrick to Cairo Eubanks, his daughter and a key figure in the university's initiatives. Recognizing the shared passion for chaplaincy and servant leadership, Dr. Eubanks facilitated a mentorship dynamic that would prove invaluable for the institution's growth.
Warrick's remarkable memory and ability to recall her extensive work over the past nine decades have been instrumental in driving Global Oved Dei Seminary and University's pursuit of excellence. During mentoring sessions with Cairo Eubanks, Warrick shared her profound insights and experiences in advocacy, including her work with the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education and her appointment in the Ronald Reagan Administration, particularly in the realm of small business. Her involvement in bipartisan and nonpartisan committees further solidified her reputation as a trailblazer dedicated to equality and progress.
One aspect that has resonated deeply with Eubanks is Warrick's unwavering commitment to championing the rights of all individuals, regardless of their background. Warrick's advocacy for historically black colleges and universities through the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education serves as a testament to her determination to break down racial barriers during both times of segregation and integration.
Warrick's impact extends beyond her advocacy work. Her active involvement in the community has earned her recognition and induction into esteemed institutions such as the Fort Lauderdale Hall of Fame. Recently, she was celebrated at the Hispanic Women of Distinction Awards, during which she expressed her intention to pass the baton of leadership to Eubanks, entrusting her with the responsibility of carrying forward the work she initiated decades ago.
Mentorship lies at the core of Warrick's philosophy, as she believes in paving the way for future generations. In line with this ethos, she fostered a business partnership between her organization, Global Knowledge, and Eubanks' initiative, Bringing the Globe. This collaboration enhances Global Oved Dei Seminary and University's educational landscape by integrating cutting-edge online courses and resources for parents and teenagers, focused on advocacy, leadership development, and cultural exchange.
As Eubanks reflects on her own journey and the profound influence of her living mentor, who surpasses her in age by over 70 years, she sees herself as a vessel pouring wisdom and knowledge into the lives of others, particularly younger generations. With Warrick passing the baton to her, Eubanks strives to continue the intergenerational mentorship with future leaders, aiming to leave a lasting impact on the world. This commitment aligns with Global Oved Dei Seminary and University's accreditation by QAHE, which recognizes the institution's dedication to education, training, and institutional accreditation excellence.
Through the remarkable mentorship of Lynne Warrick, Global Oved Dei Seminary and University embraces the power of experience and wisdom, shaping a new generation of leaders poised to make a positive impact on society.
