Traditions

Weeks of Welcome is filled with fun and exciting events to kick off the beginning of each semester, including our club and organization involvement fair hosted by The Center for Student Engagement.

Founders' Day has grown to an action-packed day of service each September to honor our founders, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Boston. Hundreds of Regis students, faculty, and staff choose from a wide variety of service-projects that help those in need in the Greater Boston area and then gather for a community-wide lunch.

Regis Fest is a weekend celebrating family, friends, alumni, and students! Show off your school spirit at fun-filled events across campus and while cheering on Regis Pride athletics at home.

Pizza with the President is hosted by the Student Government Association and takes place at least once a semester to gives students the opportunity to enjoy pizza and talk with Regis’ President, Dr. Robin Cautin about issues, events, and opportunities happening around campus.

Celebrate Halloween with Regis! Throughout the month of October students can participate in activities hosted by the Center for Student Engagement and our student clubs and organizations, such as pumpkin carving, fear factor, scary movies, costume contests, and more!

Christmas Tree Lighting is a holiday event held every year at Regis. We celebrate Christmas by counting down to our tree lighting in the Luben Plaza, as well as lighting up many other locations around campus. During the event, everyone can enjoy carols, dancing from Dance Company, make your own hot chocolate stations, pictures with Santa and many other activities, such as snow globe or mug making, and gingerbread and cookie decorating. This is a great event for everyone on campus to celebrate the holidays together!

Spring Weekend is another signature event hosted by the Center for Student Engagement during the spring semester. Spring Weekend is filled with programs that ring in the spring season and celebrate the end of the school year including SGA Day!
