Office of the Provost
Dear Regis Community:
Beginnings are filled with the wonder of the unknown and the excitement of what lies ahead. I am thrilled to be joining this community and humbled to begin serving as Provost.
Regis is a university with a long history of engaged scholarship, a dedication to both art and science, and a commitment to innovation and professional relevancy, solidly anchored in the Jesuit values. An institution that realizes that it is our responsibility to shape the future of education as both a driver and a consequence of societal evolution. Higher education has a significant role to play in addressing the current needs of our community and addressing the global challenges of tomorrow and we are well positioned to lead in these efforts.
This will be an unprecedented year in many ways, filled with challenge and with opportunity. We will be charged with addressing the pain and consequences of the past year. We will also have the privilege of helping to define the future higher education. How do we as a community support one another? How do we facilitate learning for all students? How do we create and disseminate knowledge for impact? How do we truly engage with our community to make a difference in the lives of others? These and many other questions will drive our efforts.
The welcoming spirit of this community has overwhelmed me and I am excited to meet you all in person. I am looking forward to working alongside you to fulfill the mission of the University, to engage authentically with our community, and to advance our collective goals through our strategic plan.
Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Janet Houser for her exceptional service and for everything that she has done for Regis University over the past 20 years. It is truly my honor to serve in this role and I look forward to a great year.
Dr. Karen Riley
Provost
