Regis University Service Society
St. John Francis Regis University Service Society (RUSS) programs provide community service opportunities for students to advocate for the poor, homeless and forgotten. Inspired by the Jesuit tradition of service, students play a significant role in serving some of the most underserved individuals in our community.
RUSS Workshop
Located the basement of St. John Francis Regis Chapel, this workshop is the hub of the Regis Service Society Program on Regis’ Northwest Denver Campus. Workshop staff, student employees and volunteers organize food donations, make countless sandwiches and wrap holiday gifts for the homeless.
Faculty and Staff Collaboration Opportunities
Regis University Service Society Programs offer numerous collaboration opportunities for faculty and staff including class street walks to deliver food to the homeless, service opportunities to supplement course work and presentations about the program’s mission.
