First Year Reggie Experience Guides (Reggies)

Regent Experience Guides act as leaders to freshmen as they embark on their Regent Experience at Rockford University. Through their multilayered involvement in Freshmen Orientation, Freshman Retreat, Freshman Seminar, and the spring mentorship program, Reggies assist and mentor new students. The goals of this peer mentoring program is to provide new students with academic and social support through enhanced college experiences and a variety of educational experiences that augment their leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. Reggies will assist with students’ transition to college life by supplementing student needs through programming, providing referrals to available support services, and facilitating mentor-mentee relationships through regular communication and participation during Freshman Orientation, Freshman Retreat, Freshman Seminar, and the spring mentorship program.

Two Regent Experience Guides are paired per First-Year Seminar class.
