"I sought professional opportunities at Regis because I wanted to serve in a faith-based institution committed to social justice and dedicated to developing in students the tools and determination to make a positive difference in the world. Having held leadership positions in academic affairs, serving graduate, professional, and undergraduate students, my current role as vice president of Student Affairs allows me support the academic and civic formation of all students at Regis. An integral aspect of civic formation is encouraging students not only to confront the social justice issues of our times but also to challenge their own perceptions—to seek the magis, to become the truest version of their best selves and to serve others for the greater good of the world in which we live."

She received CASE’s Chrystal Apple Award for Teaching Excellence, among other awards for programmatic excellence.

Working closely with the University leadership, faculty and staff, and the Board of Trustees in developing programs and relationships that result in dramatically increased philanthropic support for the students, faculty and programs at Regis University is immensely rewarding. The Jesuit values, and the clear mission that supports Regis are exactly the values that our students need as they study, learn, grow and graduate into their roles as leaders of our future. Our faculty, our staff and our leadership embrace these values and bring their passion and their love to this mission and it shows. I came to Regis because we are making a difference in a positive way every day, and I too wanted to be part of that daily difference.” Terri Campbell Chief of Staff "By the grace of God, I am able to dedicate my current work life to Regis University. Regis has been remarkably important to several generations of my family and the chance to pay my gratitude forward is an incredibly precious gift. After graduating from Gonzaga University, I taught at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, AZ. From there, I pursued and received my Masters in Science in Renaissance Literature from the University of Edinburgh. After graduate school and my return to the US and Denver, CO, I had the good fortune to join Regis College in the Admissions Office. I left Regis College to teach full time at Regis Jesuit High School. I left teaching – a profession I have loved above all others – for work-life reasons and joined the non-profit health agency sector. I found my way to Human Resources and after 20+ progressively responsible years with IBM, Comcast and UnitedHealth Group – and 8 cross country and out of country moves – I actively sought an opportunity to return to my extended family, my home town, and secure mission-based, values-centric work. In April 2019, I gratefully and ecstatically rejoined Regis University as the Chief of Staff. At Regis University, I am able to work with professionals whose intellect, passion, dedication, collaboration and execution are unparalleled. Above this, we are united in common goal to provide a distinctive, Jesuit Catholic education and inspire our students – traditional or adult, undergraduate or graduate, degree seeking or skills-focused – to go forth and set the world on fire."
