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. An honorary category also exists to acknowledge those who excel but may not fit into the other categories. Each year, up to two categories may be selected for induction by a committee and approved by the President of the University and the Dean of Kinesiology and Health Studies. All athletic efforts throughout the institution's history, including those of its predecessors, Regina College and Regina Campus, are eligible for induction.

Starting in 2025, we are excited to announce the merging of these two prestigious events into one: the Alumni Awards & Sports Hall of Fame. This unified event will truly honor our outstanding recipients.

We are deeply saddened for the loss of Dr. Bryan Hillis, BA'78, recipient of the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Alumni Crowning Achievement Award.
