  4. Alumni Awards & Sports Hall of Fame

Every year, the University of Regina celebrates the achievements of its nearly 95,000 alumni through the Alumni Awards. Established in 1992, these awards honor our exceptional alumni for their dedication to excellence, community engagement, leadership, and their significant impact on the social, cultural, and economic well-being of our communities.

In 1995, the University of Regina Sports Hall of Fame was established to recognize outstanding athletes, teams, builders, and contributors to the Athletics Program.   Starting this year, we are excited to announce the merging of these two prestigious events into one - the University of Regina Alumni Awards & Sports Hall of Fame. This unified event will truly honor our outstanding recipients.  This year’s honorees include leaders, educators, community advocates, entrepreneurs, coaches, and professional athletes – all embodying the University of Regina’s motto: "As One Who Serves."
