uRegina officially launches universitaire francophone
The University of Regina and Saskatchewan’s French-speaking Fransaskoiscommunity have celebrated the official inauguration of La Cité universitaire francophone on uRegina’s campus. The institute is the result of the amalgamation of the Institut français and the Department of French at uRegina, and it will provide its educational programming in French. La Cité universitaire francophone was also granted academic status equivalent to that of other faculties, thus giving it the authority to manage its university programs and grant degrees. uRegina President Vianne Timmons said, “the launch of La Cité is in line with our Strategic Plan’s objectives of student success and community engagement. It also reflects our commitment to serve postsecondary education needs of French speakers in Saskatchewan, and better positions us to serve our students and our communities.”
