What’s Happening

URAA hosts or sponsors various events throughout the year in which the accomplishments of alumni and their connections to the university are on full display.

Each fall the association holds its annual general meeting where the board reports on the activities of the past year and new directors are elected. This year’s AGM took place on October 24, 2023 and for the second year in a row it was a hybrid event so all alumni can participate regardless of whether they can be in Regina for the meeting or join the members virtually.

URAA is a proud partner with the University of Regina for the Alumni Crowning Achievement Awards, which recognize accomplishments by distinguished alumni in various categories. This year’s awards ceremony took place on Thursday, September 21 at the Hotel Saskatchewan in Regina.  The 2023 recipients included Perry Bellegarde (Lifetime Achievement Award), Leah Lawrence (Distinguished Professional Award), Jada Yee (Humanitarian and Community Service Award), Verda Petry (Dr. Robert and Norma Ferguson Outstanding Service Award), Brittany Hudak (Outstanding Young Alumni Award) and Dr. Matina Kalcounis-Rueppell (Academic Professional Award).

The association has also been a sponsor of major university-organized events such as the annual Inspiring Leadership Forum geared towards aspiring women leaders, as well as the Slam Dunk event and the U Prairie Challenge tail gate party that support the Cougars’ basketball and Rams football teams respectively.
