A year in the life of a university
A recap of events at the U of R
If you think that university is all about lectures and late-night crying over midterms, then think again! The University of Regina (U of R) takes pride in its vibrant student groups and different student interests and expertise. Be it the networking events, theatre events, trivia nights, paint nights, game nights, case competitions or science showcases, the campus is filled with chaos all the time. Here’s a bit of a recap of what the 2024-25 academic year looked like on campus.It’s a fun snapshot of what student clubs put together—your backstage pass to what went down on campus.
The Hill Business Students’ Society
This year, the Hill Business Students’ Society (BSS) hosted social hangouts and professional development events, offering students a wide array of pathways to explore and learn about the Hill School of Business and its community. Starting off with Welcome Week, BSS hosted the Rams Bus on Sept. 6, allowing students to attend the Rams vs Huskies football game at the Mosaic Stadium, followed by an afterparty at the Culture Club. They went to host their Hill Dinner, campaigns like 5 Days for the Homeless and the Hill Case Competition to get students interested in case studies and hone skills in presenting.
Science Students’ Society
Nerdy scientists collaborated with not-yet doctors, a.k.a the UR Pre-Med Club, to host a bowling night on Oct. 11, 2024. Later they hosted their most awaited annual Science Gala, themed “Under the Stars,” on Feb. 1. For a break and little bit of fun, they hosted a trivia night on March 5. Their upcoming Spring Galais April 26.
Google Developers Student Club (GDSC)
The pseudo-Zuckerbergs hosted a bunch of workshops in the fall, like “Introduction to API and workshop for Battlesnake Tournament” to get students to learn about APIs and build something incredible. They also hosted a web-development workshop for students interested in creating websites, products and maintaining online resources. By the time they figured it was time to have fun, the year was almost done.
Theatre Students’ Association
Unpaid actors got together in the early fall for a performance of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” Later in the year, they put on a script reading of a fantasy play called “Dreams Beyond Space” written by a fellow TSA member.
So, was it a quiet year on campus? Well, no. Between business students swapping LinkedIn connections like Pokémon cards, science students figuring out how the universe was created and the theatre students learning how to smile and cry at the same time, the University of Regina buzzed with energy.
