Student News and Achievements
This week, Regis joined colleges and universities around the country in support of the 25th anniversary of International Education Week. The Center for Global Connections collaborated with other offices to develop programming highlighting the many benefits of global engagement including, trivia and game nights, a multicultural/bilingual book drive, a Nollywood film night, Ed Abroad Novel-teas from around the world, and tabling sessions promoting new mobility programs. We champion international education at Regis because we believe in the promise of open doors and the power of mutual understanding to create a more just, more connected world.
Intern for the Center for Internships and Career Development Levi Dunlap ’25, a humanities major with a concentration in AI and video games, designed a Career Challenge Week to help students strengthen their resumes and sharpen their interviewing skills as they prepare for future career opportunities. The week kicked off with the launch of a Career Challenge Bingo Card, introducing students to the full range of resources offered by the Center and creating opportunities for networking. Throughout the week, students participated in a series of hands-on sessions, including resume and cover-letter writing, a LinkedIn profile lab, and mock interviews. The week will culminate with students submitting their completed bingo cards for a chance to win a prize, reinforcing learning in a fun and engaging way.

President's Office
As we head into Thanksgiving next week, I want to express my gratitude for all you do to make Regis such a special community.
I'm especially thankful to the many community members who supported the Undergraduate Admission Open House programs in October and November. We hosted 135 families between the two events, and know their experience was enhanced by the support of the faculty, staff, and students who passionately shared their Regis stories.
When we return, we’ll jump right into the holiday spirit. I hope you can join us for the upcoming concert featuring the Regis Community Chorus, the Regis Glee Singers, and the Regis Chamber Singers:
Singing with Scrooge: A Musical Retelling of Dickens’
A Christmas Carol
Sat., Dec. 6 | 3 p.m. | Fine Arts Center
I wish you and your loved ones a joyful Thanksgiving and a restful break.
