Regis Expands Cost- and Time-Saving Partnerships |
|
Regis announced two new partnerships, one with Saint Joseph Preparatory School in Boston to increase accessibility to college-level courses for high school students. “This partnership allows motivated high school students to earn college credits early and get a head start on their bachelor’s degree,” says Regis College President Antoinette M. Hays, PhD, RN. “Saint Joseph Prep is similar to Regis in that we both have a commitment to academic excellence, access, and opportunities for our students, which makes for a wonderful partner.” Read more.
An agreement with Suffolk University Law School and the University of Massachusetts School of Law (in addition to an existing partnership with Western New England University School of Law) enables Regis students studying law the opportunity to complete their undergraduate and legal degree in six years as opposed to the traditional seven years. “During these uncertain and challenging times, being able to save time and money while pursuing a law degree is a tremendous opportunity for our students,” says President Hays. “I am thrilled to expand Regis’ 3+3 offerings at Suffolk and UMass Law, two premier law universities in New England.” Read more.

Regis Students Tracing COVID-19 |
|
When Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker called on local college public health students to assist the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) in tracing COVID-19 cases to help contain the virus spread, 40 Regis College students were among those who quickly volunteered. “This is the epitome of public health: having these institutions come together to work for a common goal,” says Laura Burke, dean of the School of Health Sciences at Regis.
|
COVID-19 is something that is going to change our world and I was excited to help the public health department to contain the spread of it.
