President's Message
Dear friends of the University of Regina,
The University of Regina is entering an exciting new chapter following the launch of our 2026-2035 Strategic Plan, entitled Together, We Serve.
Developed through consultation with students, faculty, staff, alumni, Indigenous partners, and community members, Together, We Serve unites our learning, research, community engagement, reconciliation, and innovation around a shared vision for the decade ahead.
At its core, Together, We Serve is about what we can accomplish together with the broader community behind us, together with our donor community – of which you are a vital part.
In that spirit of togetherness and partnership, I am pleased to present our 2025-2026 Donor Impact Report – a report that is a testament both to your generosity and to your commitment to our three-part academic mission of teaching, research, and service to community.
Donor Stories
Leading the Way
Education and research in Earth sciences advance Canadian energy security
As Canada seeks to move new projects of national interest in mining and energy infrastructure forward, there will be increased demand for critical minerals, metals, energy resources, and experts in the Earth sciences. To proactively respond to Canada’s future workforce and innovation demands in the energy sector, the University of Regina's Department of Earth Sciences is expanding its capacity in laboratory infrastructure and technology for developing the next generation of leaders and innovators.
Moving from Bangladesh to Regina as an immigrant has been an exciting though difficult transition. Receiving donor-funded awards not only helped me financially, but also validated my hard work and perseverance. Because of your meaningful support, I am able to thrive in my studies, make a difference in my community as a volunteer, and grow confidence to achieve more. Thank you for your generosity, which means everything to me.

2026 Honour Rolls
Our Donor Honour Roll is more than just a list of names – it’s our way of publicly celebrating and expressing our gratitude for this special group’s generosity. Some have made a gift of $1,000 or more in the last fiscal year (May 1, 2025 – April 30, 2026), affirming their commitment to making our students and community feel acknowledged and valued. Additionally, there are those who have let us know they’ve included a long-reaching gift to the University of Regina in their estate plans, as a means to envision a better future beyond their lifetime. Furthermore, we recognize donors who give regularly to provide a predictable and steady stream of revenue we can depend on every month to help us plan ahead.
Regardless of which category our donors fall into, their shared trust in supporting the excellence of our institution and the potential of our students inspires others to follow suit, and leads us down the path to a better world for all.
