URegina celebrates 50 years as independent, degree-granting institution

The University of Regina is celebrating 50 years as an independent, degree-granting university. “I think there is a palpable pride that we have in the university, in this community, and that has been very special,” said URegina President Jeff Keshen, who noted that “[l]ike all universities, it’s grown. It’s grown a lot in its complexity, student population and diversity.” URegina will host a full year of anniversary events for alumni, students, faculty, staff, and community members, including a homecoming football game and movie nights featuring films from each decade since the university was founded.
