The Future of Regis

Our Jesuit tradition and heritage are not merely concepts we teach our students, they are principles we exercise across all departments and offices at Regis University. While many things may change over the years, our commitment to these principles remains a consistent thread woven through each initiative we undertake.

Strategic Plan

President Aceves, Fr. Kevin Burke, S.J, and Dr. Samit Shah, Strategic Planning Committee Co-Chairs, and the Strategic Planning Committee are pleased to share the final draft of the institution’s Strategic Plan.

Regis University’s strategic plan draws on our mission statement and builds on the tremendous history that has led us to the present moment. It will enable us to imagine new priorities and initiatives to continue providing a transformative education at “the frontiers of faith, reason and culture.”

Campus Master Plan

Regis University is revising its master plan for the eastern edge of the Northwest Denver Campus, along Federal Boulevard and between 50th and 53rd avenues, to function as a real estate endowment. Income would be generated from leases on the 27-acres to support a broad range of University needs, including funding scholarships. Likely uses include housing, offices, retail, and community space that would serve the public as well as the University community. The proposal is now in the City and County of Denver's land development review process. An initial community information meeting has been held and there will be future opportunities to provide input.

Practice Fields Upgrade

Thanks to a special partnership between Regis University, Arrupe Jesuit High School and Shea Homes, two illuminated artificial turf fields for the Arrupe Generals soccer teams and the Regis Rangers lacrosse, soccer and rugby teams were completed in the spring of 2022.

Project details:
  • Eco-friendly turf is made from nylon grass and rests atop a sand infill and “g-shock safer pad” to reduce athlete injuries. It also eliminates six hours of weekly mowing.
  • Energy-efficient precision LED lights will allow for more use of the fields, especially during cooler times of day to reduce stress on athletes. The lights are directed to the fields and nowhere else.
  • With no need for watering, Regis projects a saving of 5.4 million gallons of water during the fields’ first year of use.
