Rex the Royal

An official school mascot is an integral part of the undergraduate experience. Whether at an athletic competition or a campus event, the mascot is a highly visible representative of the university, the athletics department, and student life. Rex the Royal, Regent University’s official mascot, is the embodiment of the campus culture and Regent Athletics’ spirit. Rex should be the main catalyst of community amongst diverse Regent audiences, excitement for campus happenings and loyalty to the mission of Regent University.
