The University of Regina has campuses located in Regina and Saskatoon on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 territories. These are the ancestral lands of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. A comprehensive university, the U of R traces its roots back to the creation of Regina College, a small residential high school established by the Methodist church in 1911. The College grew in size and significance becoming a campus of the University of Saskatchewan and, ultimately, an independent degree granting university – the University of Regina – in 1974. The U of R has 10 faculties; 25 academic departments and schools; 10 institutional-level research centres and institutes; and three federated colleges: Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College. In 2022, the University of Regina had nearly 16,000 students. Our tuition rates are on par with the national average and the University is among the top comprehensive universities in the level of student financial support – scholarships, awards, and bursaries – available as a percentage of tuition. In Regina, our main and historic College Avenue campuses are located on 239 acres in Wascana Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, providing an attractive study and work environment for our students, faculty and staff. Both campuses are 100 per cent smoke-free as part of our commitment to providing a safe and healthy place in which to study, work, live, and visit. Our 80,000+ alumni contribute to and build our society in Saskatchewan and in Canada, and are our ambassadors to the world. Our history, accomplishments, and growth as a university stem from our commitment to working together for the good of our local and global communities. The title of the University of Regina's 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, All Our Relations, is the English equivalent of a phrase familiar to most North American First Nations Peoples. It is often used to formally acknowledge the interconnectedness of family and all their relations including those that walk on two feet, those that walk on four feet, those that swim in the great waters, those that fly in the sky and those that crawl on their bellies. Through the strategic plan, the University of Regina is committed to five areas of focus and the specific goals related to each: Discovery, Truth and Reconciliation, Well-being and Belonging, Environment and Climate Action, and Impact and Identity. Discovery lays out the key aspects needed to bolster and strengthen the academic successes and careers of U of R students, faculty, and staff, as well as create impact within communities in Saskatchewan, Canada, and worldwide. It has three overarching objectives – Excellence in Teaching and Research, Student Success, and Internationalization. We teach and support students to think critically, to engage in ethical reasoning, to understand their worlds and the worlds of others, and to actively contribute to the betterment of society. A diverse and inclusive environment assists in attracting and retaining teachers and researchers to the University’s faculties and units. It builds on the U of R’s existing areas of national expertise, such as the Child Trauma Research Centre (CTRC), the Canadian Institute for Public Safety and Research Treatment (CIPSRT), the Clean Energy Technology Research Institute (CETRI), and the Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Communities (IEESC), while seeking opportunities for new collaboration with other academics and institutions globally. With $51.2 million in research revenue in 2021-22, the University of Regina has emerged as a centre of excellence on a number of research fronts. Our four signature research areas are based upon research impact, critical mass of highly qualified personnel, distinctiveness, and commitment to partners in the community and the Province of Saskatchewan. The University of Regina was named the 2020 Research University of the Year in the undergraduate university category by Research Infosource, a leading source of ranking information on research and development in Canada. Based on six different categories, the designation is awarded to the university that demonstrates superior performance on key measures of research success. University of Regina graduates experience the best employment outcomes of all post-secondary graduates in Saskatchewan. Leaders in the critical area of experiential learning, our graduates leave our campus prepared to succeed in the world. One of the key strengths of the University of Regina is the growth in enrolment of international students in recent years. In 2021, international students comprised 16 per cent of total students. Institutional changes at the University—while still ongoing—have made the campus more attractive to Indigenous students that make up 15.7 per cent of the U of R’s student population. This includes initiatives such as the ta-tawâw Student Centre, nitôncipâmin omâ Student Success Program (The OMA Program), Indigenous Social Work and Education programs, the Indigenous Advisory Circle, among others. In June 2021, the University welcomed our first Associate Vice-President (Indigenous Engagement). Environment and Climate Action – the fourth area of focus in our 2020-25 Strategic Plan – provides a framework for how the University will strengthen its connection with, and protection of, the environment and our climate through three major objectives: reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; develop the University of Regina as a Living Lab; and decrease the production of waste and consumption of water. Over the 2009 to 2019 period, the University reduced total electrical consumption by 13 per cent and reduced per square foot electrical consumption by 22 per cent. This accomplishment, alongside our waste, water, and transportation initiatives, led the University to win the 2022 Regina & District Chamber of Commerce Paragon Business Excellence Award for Environmental Excellence. Impact and Identity recognizes that the connections of our students, faculty, and staff with all of our stakeholders are key components of our ability to positively influence and impact society. We are committed to forging reciprocal relationships that generate interest in, and increase the societal relevance of our academic efforts. We seek to enhance our institutional identity by valuing our alumni and their accomplishments; supporting and developing our research strengths and reputation; and celebrating our impacts and unique characteristics.
