David M. Clari 2 • R£gis Magazine Winter 1992 December 1992 Dear Alumni and Friends: It is a delight for me to greet all of you as I prepare for my tenure as president of Regis University. Certainly one of the strengths of Regis over the past two decades has been the support and commitment of our alumni and friends, and I look forward to working with each one of you. When I reflect on my 17 years at Regis, it occurs to me that very few institutions have seen the dramatic changes we have experienced. In the public eye, there has been a good deal of attention paid to our explosive growth. My particular focus, however, is on the academic quality of the programs we have developed under Fr. Clarke's guid ance. My interviews during the presidential search process renewed my long standing belief that there is high quality at Regis in faculty, in staff, in students, in alumni, and in programs. And we will continue to empha size academic quality and quality of service in the programs we offer and develop. I am excited about the challenges that lie ahead for all of us in the Regis University family. I ask for your continued support and commit ment as we move into 1993. Sincerely, Michael].

O'Flaherty, five students, and a house manager will live among and work with the Hispanic families in Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Northwest Denver. In describing his inspiration for Romero House, Fr. O'Flaherty quotes Fr.J on Sobrino, SJ. in his May 1990 CommencementAddress at Regis ... "I will also say, that a university should make the option for the poor. This means that as a university you look at the totality of our reality, not from the top but from below. I am sure you will learn more- more about your own country, the United States, if you go to the Hispanics or to the Black community or wherever. You will see more and better, and that is important for a university."

The response rate of 24% represents a total of 4,582 alumni of Regis College (RC), School for Professional Studies (SPS), School for Health Care Professions (SHCP) and Loretto Heights (LH). The results are very representative of our alumni body and I'm certain you will enjoy LH reviewing the findings. SPS 1302 An overwhelming percentage of alumni who returned their census forms praised the education they received at Regis or Loretto Heights. I am very pleased with the positive perspective the alumni have of Regis and the enthusiasm expressed for the future of the institution. The results will serve the Alumni Board well as we are currently planning the future direction of the Alumni Association. Many alumni provided additional comments and it would be great to have the room to publish all responses. Unfortunately, since that is impossible, we have selected a few representative responses for this report. Both the favorable and the unfavorable feedback will be taken to heart and will be used constructively to help build a stronger Regis University and Alumni Association.
