Summer is a time of wonderful possibilities for learning, growing, and interacting with others. Many activities have been planned to augment your classroom learning and to provide an opportunity to meet other “pilgrims along the way.”
Atrium Information Desk
Our Info Desk is staffed with friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Here, you can browse a wealth of information about Regent College, courses, activities, and the greater Vancouver area.
Chapel
Chapel, held at 11:00 am on Mondays and Thursdays during Spring Session, and daily during Summer Session, is foundational to our life at Regent College and you are warmly invited to participate. Many students and faculty have found that the mingling of testimony and praise, exposition, and intercession creates an atmosphere of rich spiritual vitality.
Lunch
Our catering team prepares nutritious and delectable dishes every every Monday and Thursday (in Spring Session), and every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (in Summer Session) at a cost of $5.00 for a complete meal. You can’t get a better deal in Vancouver! And the communal lunchtime is a wonderful opportunity to share a meal with classmates and professors.
The Well Coffee Bar
Located at the entrance to the Bookstore, this Regent alumnus-owned coffee bar offers a fine selection of espresso drinks and teas, as well as various snack and lunch menu items. The daily soup is a tasty alternative when lunch is not served.
Lunchtime Concerts
During the month of July, Regent invites guest musicians to play concerts during the lunch hour. From jazz to Celtic harp, classical cello to flamenco nuevo, the variety of musical styles will delight any music lover. Watch our Special Events section for a list of all our summer 2012 concerts (posted as they become available).
Evening Public Lectures
Evening Public Lectures are a hallmark of Regent’s Summer schedule. Offered once a week in May/June and twice a week in July from 8:00–9:30pm, these free lectures provide an opportunity to hear from a number of Summer Programs faculty outside of the classroom. See our Public Lectures page for a list of all our upcoming summer 2012 lectures.
Connecting with Faculty
Each week throughout Spring and Summer, we take a break from the classrooms to spend a little time getting to know the faculty through Coffee and Dialogue, Roundtable Discussions, and other informal talks.
The John Richard Allison Library
One of the great gifts of Regent College is the beautiful John Richard Allison Library located on the lower level. Leather chairs and well-equipped study carrels are woven in and through the stacks and original works of art, all well lit by generous skylights. Once you have registered and paid course fees,you are eligible for a free Allison Library card, valid for one year from the day of membership request.
The Lookout Gallery
Regent's own art gallery shows a variety of local artists and is a quiet respite from thebustle of the Atrium while Summer Programs are in session. Come see some beautifulart this summer!
The Regent Bookstore
The Regent Bookstore is considered by most Regent students to be the area of greatest temptation at Regent College; it carries one of the most extensive selection of books of any theological bookstore in North America. The Regent Bookstore also offers CDs and DVDs of faculty lectures and an audio selection of various Regent courses. Be sure to leave space in your suitcase to bring home the treasures you find here!
Parking
Parking is available for a small fee just down the road from Regent College at University Chapel. UBC Parking also has many parking facilities within walking distance to the College.
