Happy move in day, Regis students! 🎉

Please remember in prayer, Professor Emeritus, Joan Murray, PhD who passed away on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. May she rest in peace.

The late Joan Murray, PhD, served Regis College with distinction for 47 years from September 1970 to August of 2017. Dr. Murray was collaborative and engaging and her smiling eyes were a constant as she met each person at Regis as a friend.

Dr. Murray taught German but is perhaps best known at Regis for her foundational work in the field of Communication. She created Regis’ Communication Certificate Program in 1982, which proved to be so popular that it led to the creation of the undergraduate Communication major in 1987. She served as chair of the major from its inception through 2003, and again from 2013-2016. In the interim, she served as the Director of the M.S. in Organizational and Professional Communication from 2003-2013.

An active alumna of Regis College, Dr. Murray exemplified the idea of servant-leadership inside and outside of the classroom.

May she rest in peace.

Regis mourns the loss of friend Jack Connors, an individual who embodied a core value of the university, serving the Dear Neighbor without distinction. A tireless advocate for those in the greatest of need, Jack received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Regis in 2018.
Among his many contributions to the university and its students, Jack often served as the emcee for the Regis Let it Shine Gala that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to support student scholarships.
Thanks to Jack’s efforts and a full-tuition scholarship in his name, countless Regis students were provided financial resources to pursue their dream of earning a college degree from Regis.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Connors family and all who he touched with kindness and generosity.

Please save the date for the Regis College Let It Shine Gala on October 30, 2024, to support student scholars and honor Ophelia Dahl, co-founder of Partners In Health, for her outstanding contributions to global health and social justice. We look forward to celebrating with you! Learn more: https://alumni.regiscollege.edu/letitshine

🌟 Alumni Spotlight: meet Yelena Geiler! 🌟

How did Regis prepare you for life after graduation?
The one-on-one guidance of my chair during the doctoral program was an essential component of my academic growth. I was encouraged to look at all aspects of the doctorally prepared nurse, not just my project. My chair, Dr. Helene Bowen-Brady, was and to this day is my mentor in taking my project further. I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Bowen-Brady for taking me under her wing and helping me feel the air of confidence.

How did Regis help prepare you for life after graduation?
Thanks to Regis, I felt fully prepared to sit for my board exams and confident to enter the field as a diagnostic medical sonographer. My classroom education and scanning labs worked in conjunction to prepare me perfectly for my clinical rotations.
