The University of Regina is a public research university located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Founded in 1911 as a private denominational high school of the Methodist Church of Canada, it began an association with the University of Saskatchewan as a junior college in 1925 and was disaffiliated by the Church and fully ceded to the university in 1934; in 1961 it attained degree-granting status as the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan. It became an autonomous university in 1974. The University of Regina has an enrolment of over 15,000 full and part-time students. The university's student newspaper, The Carillon, is a member of CUP.
The University of Regina is well-reputed for having
a focus on experiential learning and offers internships, professional
placements, and practicums in addition to cooperative education placements in 41
programs. This experiential learning and career-preparation focus was
further highlighted when, in 2009 the University of Regina launched the UR
Guarantee Program, a unique program guaranteeing participating students a
successful career launch after graduation by supplementing education with
experience to achieve specific educational, career, and life goals. Partnership
agreements with provincial crown corporations, government departments, and
private corporations have helped the University of Regina both place students
in work experience opportunities and help them gain employment post-study.
CAMPUS:-
The arts and sciences programs evolved with the
growth of Regina Campus, which held its first convocation in 1965.
The new campus was begun in 1966 on Wascana Lake, to the southeast of the old
campus whose buildings, however, remain in use: the old Girls' Residence is now
used by the Regina Conservatory of Music; the Normal School, having at various
times housed not only the teacher-training facility that is now the
university's Department of Education but the Saskatchewan Museum of
Natural History, war-training facilities during World War II when it was
temporarily resumed by the federal crown and latterly the university's Fine
Arts Department, is now the Canada-Saskatchewan Soundstage.
The original design of the Regina Campus (as
of Wascana Centre itself) and its initial buildings, in a stark
concrete modernist style, were by Minoru Yamasaki, the architect
of the original World Trade Center in New York.
Residence-
Regina College originally housed male and female student residences which were converted to academic use when the college became affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan in 1934. (The old Girls' Residence now accommodates the Regina Conservatory of Music.) The Main (Wascana) Campus has residence space for about 1,200 students on-campus. Each bedroom is single-occupant, but many spaces on campus are designed to facilitate double occupancy, increasing capacity if required to address high demand without building additional residence space.
SPORTS-
The University of Regina is a member of U Sports and fields men's and women's teams in various sports. Its teams bear the name "Cougars" in all sports, except the Regina Rams, which were originally a community junior football team competing in PJFC football without affiliation with the university, and who joined the University ranks in 1999 as a member of the Canada West Conference of U Sports. Men's varsity teams include the Regina Rams (football), basketball, cross country, hockey, swimming, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. Women's varsity teams include basketball, cross country, hockey, soccer, swimming, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. The University of Regina is also home to several varsity club teams, including cheerleading, curling, dance team, rowing, men's rugby sevens, women's rugby sevens, women's softball, synchronized swimming, ultimate, and triathlon.
MEDIA-
The university's student newspaper is The Carillon. It for many years was an organ of radical student dissent and in the 1960s and 70s frequently had a very high community profile as its editorial postures occasioned vigorous denunciation by university administration figures and in the conservative general press. As student mores in subsequent generations have become less disputatious The Carillon has evolved into a less political paper which currently is a somewhat conventional newsletter of campus affairs.
