2013 Alumni Crowning Achievement Awards -- Meet the quintet of distinguished alumni who are this year’s Alumni Crowning Achievement recipients. Dancing to her own tune -- Doctoral candidate Michelle Gagnon MA’12 is one of this year’s recipients of the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships, one of the most prestigious graduate student awards in the country. New chancellor’s roots run deep -- This spring, Jim Tomkins was elected as the University’s eighth chancellor. It’s just one of the many contributions that Tomkins has made to the University in a career that has spanned almost 45 years. A feverish chapter in the Regina College story -- In December 1920, an outbreak of typhoid fever hit Regina College, the predecessor of the University of Regina. When it was over, eight students and one instructor had died in what is regarded as the darkest hour in the University’s 100-plus year history. Flexible learning not a stretch for today’s students -- Today’s students are increasingly taking classes away from the traditional classroom. One of the largest areas of growth has been online courses. The University of Regina is no exception with online enrolments almost doubling in the past three years. Learning that lasts a lifetime -- Since 1977, the University’s Lifelong Learning Centre has been delivering a diverse collection of non-credit courses that are creative, intellectual and physical. And while its roots were in seniors education, today students of all ages are enjoying learning for personal enrichment. departments -- Feed Back; President’s Note; Around Campus; Spot Light; Focal Point; Alumni President Message; Class Notes; 360 Degrees;
