Our students thrive in a learning environment characterized by the Jesuit traditions of mutual respect and pursuing justice. Respecting our human differences, whether physical or philosophical, is what the Community for Belonging (CoBe) at Regis University is about. We celebrate the richness that comes from the diverse backgrounds, identities and life experiences of our students. A learning community that embraces diverse thoughts and ideas benefits all its members.
We invite you to explore the many ways Regis fosters a culture where everyone can belong, thrive, and grow. From student-led organizations and cultural events, to dedicated support services and inclusive spaces, we are committed to ensuring that every student feels seen, heard and empowered. As you begin your journey with us, know that you are not alone — this is a place where connection, understanding and transformation happen every day. Welcome to a community where you belong.
