Leadership Institute
The Leadership Institute prepares Regina students to lead with confidence, embrace new opportunities, and make a difference in their communities and beyond.
We offer innovative programs including Leadership Scholars and Leadership Badging that empower students to amplify their voices, find their purpose, be bold, and delve deeper into each year’s unique leadership theme. Annual themes in the Leadership Badging program range from Authentic Self-Confidence to Global Citizenship.
As a resource hub, the Leadership Institute connects students to external leadership opportunities, such as Global Youth Ambassadors, RYLA, UN Working Group on Girls, and Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) .
Developing Future Female Leader
Our dedicated all-girls’ learning environment provides our students a competitive advantage. According to research from the International Coalition of Girls Schools (ICGS), 93% of girls’ school grads say they were offered greater leadership opportunities than peers at coed schools, and 80% have held leadership positions since graduating from high school.
All Regina students are invited to attend alumnae speaker events, participate in workshops, and apply to the Leadership Scholars credit-bearing program. Students who seek to be most involved are recognized with distinction on their transcripts and at Commencement. Participation in the leadership program is an important part of the Regina student profile and a competitive advantage for students vying for offers from colleges and universities of their choice.
Her Story Started Here Lunchtime Speaker Series
Our popular Her Story Started Here lunchtime speaker series introduces students to Regina's bold and brilliant alumnae. Each month, a featured alumna tells the story of her Regina experience, unique path, inspiring accomplishments, and lessons learned along the way. The range of our speaker topics reflects the diversity of our graduates: physician, digital marketer, entrepreneur, life coach, actuary, global executive, forensic psychiatrist, nurse, police detective, and lawyer.
Our Leadership Motto: Inspire. Act. Lead.
“The Leadership Institute motto is Inspire. Act. Lead. Students learn that everyday leadership is a lifelong enterprise. Growing as leaders through curiosity, self-awareness, and experiential opportunities is part of the school culture. Regina students are making a difference now and are setting themselves up to continue to make an impact in meaningful ways in their chosen professions and in life.
