Our History
The University of Regina Alumni Association was formed in 1975, not that long after the University of Regina became an independent university. The URAA’s first president was teacher and high school principal, the late Lydia Bramham.
The new association had a built-in membership in the graduates of what had been the University of Saskatchewan, Regina Campus. The second campus of the U of S was established in 1961, evolving from its junior college roots going back to 1925 and to the Methodist college that began operations in 1911.
URAA has come a long way since those early beginnings 50 years ago, evolving into the vibrant non-profitable charitable organization it is today. It works closely with a dedicated alumni and community engagement team at the university to connect with, and advance the interests of, alumni. In serving the institution’s graduates, URAA and the university are truly going far, together.
