Save the Date for Founders' Day on September 25, 2025
Each year, the Regis community honors our founders, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston, with a day of service. “Service to the dear neighbor without distinction” is one of the core values of the sisters and integral to the mission of our community. Service opportunities are available both on and off campus.
Although classes are suspended until 4 p.m. on Thursday, September 25, this is a community-wide event expecting all community members to participate. All who register for Founders’ Day will begin the day at our 8 a.m. kick-off on the Quad unless the transportation to your site leaves earlier.
Graduate Students
Graduate students are encouraged to sign up to register to volunteer for Founders’ Day, make a contribution to the Dear Neighbor Fund, or engage in a service project in their local communities. For more information regarding service projects in local communities, contact Denise St. Cyr at denise.st.cyr@regiscollege.edu.
