Our Alumni

Amy Richter, PhD in Environmental Systems Engineering '21

Senior Waste Management Coordinator, Government of Saskatchewan

"During my tenure as a graduate student at the University of Regina, I was fortunate to receive more than 30 scholarships valued at $170,000. Support from the Faculty of Graduate Studies was instrumental to my success."

Sarobidy Razafimahatratra, PhD in Mathematics '22

President's Distinguished Graduate Student Award

"The University of Regina was the perfect environment for me to mature as an academic researcher and to learn from the people around me."

David Akinmade, MSc. in Computer Science '23

AI Engineer, Precision AI

"I enrolled at the University of Regina with the singular focus of becoming a data science professional and at the university, I found several opportunities for learning and growth in the form of co-op internships and discovery camps. The experience was not without its challenges, but I was always able to find friends and fellow members of the academic community to lean on for support and advice while studying in the warm-hearted and beautiful city of Regina."

Merelda Fiddler-Potter, PhD in Public Policy '22

Vanier Scholar, Senior Advisor - Treaty - Métis Nation

"Working on my PhD was a dream that was finally realized at the U of R. From my supervisor to my department to the librarians and research facilities, I was so well-supported I was able to finish in just four years. They also ensured I knew about every scholarship and grant I was eligible for and emailed to check in, too. It's a great school, and because it is smaller, you won't feel like a number, you'll feel like a valued member of their research community."

Linh Tran, PhD in Biology '22

Radiochemistry Technician, Life Sciences Division, TRIUMF

"Completing my Master's degree at the University of Regina during the COVID-19 pandemic was challenging but it was an experience I would never forget. The support from fellow graduate students and professors made the dark winter days brighter. There is nothing compared to the sense of community and friendship I found at the University of Regina."
