RegisRamblers Ramblers Regis Regis Ramblers is a group of about 50 students that organize a theatre production each spring. Since its humble beginnings in 1995, the Ramblers have put on productions such as “Grease,” “The Sound of Music,” “Annie Get Your Gun,” and most recently “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” This year’s production, “Legally Blond: The Musical,” will make its run March 27-31. Based on the novel and popular movie, this upbeat musical tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who in her quest for love, finds her way into Harvard Law School. Since the expansion of Claver Hall, Mountain View Room has hosted the productions with a seating capacity of 300.
Where It All Began The Regis Ramblers musical theater club was started in the fall of 1995 by Regis computer science professor Dr. Dennis Steele and his daughter, Shannan, who was a student at Regis at the time. In the spring of 1996, the Ramblers performed their first musical, “Li’l Abner,” to a sold out audience. The following years would bring new challenges, teamwork and a collection of Ramblers alumni who have continued to support and be entertained by the thriving club to which they once belonged. Since its beginning, Dr. Steele has been, and remains the backbone of the club, continuing in the role of faculty sponsor. He has contributed as a music director, band member, set builder and overall source of support for every production. Shannan Steele has choreographed all but two of the annual productions and has served as director/choreographer/vocal music director for the majority of the shows Ramblers has produced. Shannan is a professional actress in the Denver area who has starred in award-winning productions at the Arvada Center and at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

Other Issues Related to Standards of Conduct: SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW TEAM The University reserves the right to deny admission, continued enrollment, or re-employment to any applicant or student whose personal history and background indicate that his or her presence at the University would endanger the health, safety, welfare or property of the members of the academic community or interfere with the orderly and effective performance of the University’s functions. A student may be subject to special requirements or sanctions, including suspension or dismissal from the University, for actions not otherwise covered in the Standards of Conduct, if it is determined from the student’s behavior that he or she: • Lacks the capacity to understand the nature of the charge against him/her, or to respond and participate in the disciplinary process • Poses a danger to self or others • Has become gravely disabled (that is, lacks the ability to care for himself/herself). In such instances, the case will be referred to the dean of students, who will schedule an evaluation of the student by appropriate medical or mental health care professionals on or off campus. All students consent to evaluation as a condition of their enrollment or continued matriculation. Any student who refuses to participate in any such evaluation will be dismissed or suspended as determined appropriate by the dean of students. The student may also elect to seek an independent medical or psychological evaluation for purposes of this review. The dean of students will then convene a special administrative review team to review the case and make appropriate recommendations. The team will normally consist of a director/assistant vice president (and/or his or her designee) from the Office of Counseling and Personal Development, Student Disability Services, Student Health Services, Residence Life, and the Office of Diversity, Engagement and Inclusion. Additionally, a representative from each of the following departments may be consulted as appropriate: Physical Plant, Campus Safety, academic units, Bon Appetit Food Service, Financial Aid, University Ministry, Admissions or various other University departments.
The team will review all issues and information relevant to the student’s condition and his/her ability to continue at the University. In conducting their evaluation, the team: • Will have access to all records concerning the student, including the results of the professional medical or psychological assessment. • Will have the right to call in any person who can supply information relevant to the team’s analysis. • Will conduct all of its proceedings in strict confidence and in compliance with applicable state and federal nondiscrimination laws. The student will have the right to appear before the team to present evidence in support of his/ her continued enrollment. The student may be assisted in making this presentation by an adviser drawn from the University community or his/her immediate family. The student also has the right to be informed of any information to be covered by the team. All evidence presented to the team will be given due consideration in the decision-making process. Following review of all relevant information, the team will report its findings along with recommendations on the continuing enrollment status of the student to the dean of students who will then make the final determination as to whether the student should remain at the University, and if so, under what conditions. In the event a student is suspended, the dean of students may also elect to impose conditions for the student’s reinstatement. Any student who fails to cooperate with either the evaluation process or with conditions set for his/her continuance at the University may be suspended on a summary basis pending completion of this review process. Similarly, in cases where it is believed that a student’s behavior or threatened behavior poses a danger of causing imminent harm to self or others, the student may be summarily suspended from the University immediately. Typically, in such cases, appropriate medical and law enforcement agencies, as well as family members will be notified. The evaluation procedures would then take place following the student’s suspension and removal from campus.
