Leadership Institute
We offer innovative programs including Leadership Scholars and Leadership Badging. As a resource hub, the Leadership Institute cultivates connections to external leadership development opportunities, such as Global Youth Ambassadors, RYLA, and Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) conferences.
We empower our students to amplify their voices, find their purpose, be bold, and delve deeper into each year’s unique leadership theme during their four years at Regina. Annual themes range from Authentic Self-Confidence to Global Citizenship.
Developing Future Female Leader
As experts in educating young women, we are passionate about developing them. And, our all-girls' environment offers your daughter 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. Regina Girls lead!
All Regina students are invited to attend alumnae speaker events, participate in leadership development workshops, and students who seek to be most involved will earn annual leadership badges. Participation in the leadership program is an important part of the Regina student profile and a competitive advantage for students vying for offers from the colleges and universities of their choice.
Her Story Started Here Lunchtime Speaker Series
You cannot be what you cannot see. Female role models and mentors play a critical role in helping young women achieve their dreams. Her Story Started Here is a lunch series that connects 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 her journey. 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.
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.
- Julie Koenigsberger, Regina Dominican Leadership Institute Director
Regina Dominican Leadership Model
Leaders differ; one size does not fit all. At the Leadership Institute, young women have multiple opportunities for leadership development and experience. The Leadership Scholars Program is a 4 year program designed to fit into a student’s schedule weekly. Students accepted into the program follow a leadership curriculum that builds toward a senior group capstone project.
