Congratulations and Welcome to Regis!

The entire Regis community is thrilled to welcome you to campus. We’ll start to look forward to our next academic year and your arrival on campus, which will be filled with countless possibilities. Your arrival will be the start of exciting firsts to help you thrive in the classroom and grow as an individual.

At Regis, in and out of the classroom, you will grow in ways you never could have imagined through countless opportunities to discover your gifts and use them to live a life of meaning. You will be encouraged to think across disciplines and make a positive impact on society.

Students are at the center of everything we do at Regis. We treat students individually, care for them respectfully, and help them develop the leadership skills they need to succeed. The active involvement of our student body has shaped Regis into the vibrant campus life experience it is today. The achievements you’ve earned thus far will continue to build upon that foundation of excellence and provide our campus community with optimism for your time at Regis and beyond.

We are proud to share that the incoming first year and transfer class of more than 275 students is one of the most diverse in Regis history. Some additional facts about your new classmates:

> Nearly 50% are first-generation college students.

> Academically, you've excelled in rigorous curriculums including advanced placement, honors, and early enrollment credits, earning an average grade point average of 3.4.

>  You've displayed an unparalleled devotion to your hometown communities through various community service initiatives; earning the Girl Scouts Gold Award, founding and leading unified sports programs, volunteering in soup kitchens, advocating for the less fortunate, supporting Veterans organizations, supporting your families, and much more.

> You’ve also been Student Council representatives, Class Officers, and presidents of various clubs and organizations.

> One-third of you will represent the Pride as Division III student-athletes.

There is boundless potential ahead of you. We’ll provide the opportunities, but it is up to you to pursue and grow through those opportunities.

Today we celebrate the upcoming beginning of your college career, but these four years will go by quickly. When your name is called at Commencement, you will have been provided opportunities to learn more about your chosen field so that you may use that knowledge to pursue a personally and professionally fulfilling career of meaning.

I look forward to seeing you on campus as you become a member of our campus community.
