Traditions

Welcome Week is designed specifically for the first week of classes, when students return to Regis from summer break. Welcome Week is filled with fun and exciting events to kick off the beginning of the fall semester including our club and organization fair, Target bus trips, big prize bingo, movie nights, a campus party and an off-campus event to end the week!

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 BBQ.

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 takes place once a semester and gives students the opportunity to enjoy pizza and talk with Regis’ President, Antoinette Hays, 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, haunted tunnels, scary movies, costume contests, and a Halloween themed party!

Christmas Tree Lighting is a holiday event held every year at Regis. We celebrate Christmas by counting downing to our tree lighting in the Luben Plaza, as well as lighting up many other locations around campus. After the tree lighting everyone can enjoy ice skating, carols, hot chocolate, 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!

Welcome Back Weekend is full of events to welcome students back from winter break and to kick start the spring semester. The Center for Student Engagement brings many events and programming to the Regis campus from a hypnotist, to a paint night and big prize bingo, and also a welcome back party for all students.

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!

Senior Legacy is a social for graduating seniors to toast to their final year at Regis during the fall semester. Throughout the night seniors enjoy one another’s company, receive their senior class t-shirts, and vote on events for Senior Week in the spring.

Senior Week is a week full of events and programming for the senior graduating class. Throughout the week, seniors can enjoy events such as a Red Sox game and an overnight trip to Foxwoods to celebrate the end of their time at Regis.
