  5. From Switzerland to Regina: How One Family Created a U of R Legacy … in three languages

University of Regina history, right back to its Regina College days, is chock full of entire families of U of R graduates. Brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins all proudly displaying their U of R parchments. The story of one such family spans two generations, two continents, several countries and provinces, and leaves an enduring legacy that stretches far beyond familial bounds. 

L'histoire de l'Université de Regina, dès l'époque où elle était encore le Regina College, est riche de ces familles entières de diplômés qui y ont étudié. Frères, sœurs, parents, grand-parents, tantes, oncles, cousins, tous arborant fièrement leur parchement de l'Université de Regina. Une de ces familles, dont l'histoire couvre deux générations, deux continents, plusieurs pays et provinces, laisse un héritage durable qui s'étend bien au-delà des frontières familiales.

About the University of Regina

2024 marks our 50th anniversary as an independent University (although our roots as Regina College date back more than a century!). As we celebrate our past, we work towards a future that is as limitless as the prairie horizon. We support the health and well-being of our 16,700 students and provide them with hands-on learning opportunities to develop career-ready graduates – more than 90,000 alumni enrich communities in Saskatchewan and around the globe. Our research enterprise has grown to 21 research centres and 9 Canada Research Chairs. Our campuses are on Treaties 4 and 6 - the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda peoples, and the homeland of the Michif/Métis nation. We seek to grow our relationships with Indigenous communities to build a more inclusive future.

Let’s go far, together.
