Celebrations and Announcements

One Book, One Regis 

One Book, One Regis has served as a unifying effort for the Regis community in pursuit of the Jesuit values that drive us toward inclusive excellence. We are taking a different approach this year, encouraging colleges, departments and units to form reading and discussion groups connected to our Good Trouble Conversation topics to foster community building, collegiality and conversation.  

We encourage you to consider reading one of the suggested titles below and hosting a reading group or book discussion in your unit during the spring terms. We will provide additional information and resources in a future Provost’s Digest after the winter break.

Physical Therapy reaccredited for the maximum period 

Congratulations are in order to the Regis University Doctor of Physical Therapy program — they have been reaccredited by CAPTE for a period of ten years without a single citation. This is fabulous news as very infrequently are there no citations! Kudos to Dr. Heidi Eigsti who worked tirelessly and with much enthusiasm leading this effort, to the CAPTE Steering Committee and to all the faculty and staff.  The Commission noted: 

• The program is meeting its mission as evidenced by a strong commitment of the faculty and staff to the success of the students, their outcomes (including graduation rates, licensure rates, entry-level clinical performance and employment rates), and a curriculum plan that uses a hybrid model.
• The performance of the program graduates, as reported by the program in the 2019 and 2020 Annual Accreditation Reports.
