👉 Regentess, in the context of a college or university, refers to a student who has been chosen by their institution's governing body as an "independent" member. This person typically holds the position of president or vice-president and is responsible for making decisions regarding the academic and administrative affairs of the college or university. Regentesses are often seen as more independent and capable than other students, as they have been given a role in decision-making processes that affect the institution's governance and operations.
