We are thrilled to welcome our students back to campus this fall! As the end of the summer approaches, we look forward to the many opportunities we will have to build community with our incoming students and re-connect with our returning students.
Throughout the year, we will be sending parent and family newsletters with important information relevant to your student's experience at Regis. I hope you will find these newsletters helpful to you and your family. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns, or if you simply want to discuss your Regis experience thus far. I look forward to working with you!
With Pride,

COVID-19 Vaccine Information
As we prepare for a full return to in-person classes and full capacity in the residence halls this fall, Regis continues to monitor and adhere to local and state public health guidance and make updates to our protocols. You can view the latest guidelines, COVID-19 vaccine dashboard, and resources here.
All students, faculty, and staff who will live, learn, and work on campus or who will participate in Regis in-person activities are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Monday, August 16. Students are required to submit their vaccine documentation via their CastleBranch and CoVerified accounts by August 16. Download CoVerified for Apple, Android, or visit the webpage. Students should log in to their account using their Regis email address and password.
Included below are links to documents with additional information about Regis' COVID-19 vaccine requirement. Please contact the COVID-19 team with any questions.
If your student has a roommate in mind, please make sure they connect with their roommate on the portal by the July 16 deadline. If they do not have a specific roommate in mind, they will be assigned a roommate based on the preferences they provide. A full step-by-step video outlining the process can be found on our housing selection webpage.
Students registered for fall 2021 courses can now view their statements on the Regis Hub. Payment is due by August 6.
An overview of how students can view and pay their bills can be found here. Payment plans are available and allow for smaller, affordable payments instead of paying a balance in one large lump sum. For more information and to enroll in a payment plan, please click here.
Regis' newest orientation leaders spent a week in June learning more about the institution – and themselves – as they prepare to serve as a welcoming force and support system for the Class of 2025, which arrives on campus this fall.
Due to the pandemic, Regis’ first-year orientation will look a little different this summer. Instead of the traditional overnight orientation held in June, students attended a virtual welcome in June, will come to campus during one of three visit days in July and August, and will participate in additional programming on September 1 after move-in.
Regis students Heather Vaughn ’21, and Mallytza Ibarra ’22, are hitting the waves up and down the New England coast this summer. But they aren’t going just the two of them.
The therapeutic recreation students are completing their practicum this summer with AmpSurf New England, an adaptive surf therapy non-profit organization. Each weekend, they work with individuals – from children to older adults – with life-long disabilities, introduce them to surfing, and enjoy some time by the ocean.
Kathleen Jose Named New Chair of Board of Trustees
From her nursing classes in College Hall, to the leadership team of a major Massachusetts teaching hospital, to now the chair of the Regis College Board of Trustees, Kathleen Jose '87, '94, represents what is possible with a Regis degree.
A former senior vice president and the first chief nursing officer at Lahey Clinic Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., Jose takes on the Regis College board leadership as the institution prepares to build on its successful response to the pandemic.
For Lawana Brown and Faydene Small-Jones, the story of Breonna Taylor – not the one the media has focused on about the end of her life but about all that came before – hit close to home. To these two veteran nurses, the loss of the dynamic, devoted emergency medical technician who aspired to become a member of their profession resonated powerfully and personally.
Small-Jones and Brown got the opportunity to find out first-hand in a candid and compelling conversation with Tamika Palmer, the mother of Breonna and her younger sister Ju'Niyah.
Our 20th annual Regis College Golf Outing to support Pride Athletics took place on June 22 at the Marlborough Country Club. Special thanks to the 116 golfers who participated in the event, the volunteers who assisted throughout the day, and this year's Crimson Sponsors: Aramark, BustonAttitude, and CGL Electronic Security. Be on the lookout for more information about next year's outing!
In collaboration with offices across campus, I serve as a resource for parents and families as you support your students throughout their time at Regis. I strive to partner with you to enhance the student experience as well as strengthen your own connection to our community. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance. I look forward to working with you!
