Opportunities for Regis Students to Volunteer

As Regis students prepare for the summer, it’s crucial to consider the importance of volunteering.

As Regis students prepare for the summer, it’s crucial to consider the importance of volunteering.
Those who volunteer regularly have a 27% more likely to gain employment and 60% of hiring managers see volunteering as an asset when selecting a candidate. Volunteering also reduces stress and increases positive, relaxed feelings by releasing dopamine.
Volunteering is important for your students’ health, resume and the overall community. One of the opportunities available to Regis University students is the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) CARES volunteer program.
For those who are passionate about helping those during their time of need, ACS CARES needs student clinic volunteers to provide empathetic, culturally sensitive, and inclusive healthcare navigation support to those facing cancer. This is a great opportunity for students in social work or health sciences programs to make a difference in the lives of those fighting cancer while learning more about their field of study – and even getting clinical hours!
Student Clinic Volunteers serve in their role for one year, beginning in the summer of 2024. Volunteers are required to commit to one 4-hour shift per week, with additional time allocated for volunteer meetings and training/education.
The program is beginning its first full year and chose Regis University as one of its first locations – meaning this is a unique experience available to your students.

Members of Regis University’s Black Student Alliance took a trip to Centennial Elementary School to create a sense of belonging and empowerment in young Black individuals. We met with grades Kindergarten through 5th grade and spoke on what it is like to identify as Black, experiences as a Black student, and many more topics. BSA will continue to go to Centennial Elementary every other week on Friday’s to continue to work with the students and staff, and teach more about Black history. We will include more discussions, activities, and games as we continue to get to know the members of this community.

On October 25, the Regis LatinX affinity group, SOMOS, hosted a community event called GOZA, which means “enjoy” in Spanish, which encompasses the main purpose of the event. The goal of GOZA was to foster community and invite non-SOMOS members to enjoy elements of Latin culture they may not have tried before. Various departments came together to help execute the event, including RUSGA, the Spanish Department, and ODEIE. Regis students from all walks of life came to participate and enjoy the festivities. Not only did SOMOS provide music and room to dance, but also an array of Latin food including empanadas, tamales, pupusas, as well as aquas frescas. There was also a spirited round of musical chairs and a pinata! Overall, the event boasted a large turnout and succeeded in bringing together the Regis community to experience LatinX culture.
