Info for faculty

Our faculty are important partners in Research and Scholarship Days, helping to showcase the breadth of research at Mount Royal. We invite you to join us in celebrating research at Mount Royal by attending one of the events scheduled between March 30 and April 2, 2026. Check the event calendar for a full listing of events. You can also get involved through the opportunities below.

 

Encourage your students to participate

We invite faculty to integrate Research and Scholarship Days into their winter courses.

Along with department- and faculty-specific events, student posters will be featured as part of Research and Scholarship Days. The Research and Scholarship Days poster event will be held on March 31 and April 1. Attend this in-person event to review student research, ask questions, and provide feedback.

The abstract submission deadline for students participating in the poster event is March 5.

We hope you will encourage your students to take part in these activities, either as individuals or as a class. If you would like to have your entire class participate, please let us know at researchdays@mtroyal.ca.

 

Volunteer as an adjudicator

If you would like to be more involved with Research and Scholarship Days, consider volunteering as an adjudicator. Adjudicators will review and evaluate featured student research at the Poster Presentations. The poster event will take place on March 31 and April 1. Volunteers can expect to adjudicate three posters.

Please sign up through this form if you wish to participate as an adjudicator. Research and Scholarship Days can’t happen without the support of volunteers, so please consider signing up. You will receive a follow-up email closer to the event date with further instructions.

Evaluation Criteria 

The following criteria are used by adjudicators to review poster presentations at the Research and Scholarship Days Poster Event. Students are evaluated using four criteria, which encompass all aspects of presenting research, including impact, clarity, creativity, and rigour. While student researchers should demonstrate rigorous and impactful research, the ability to effectively present and communicate that work is equally important. Therefore, students should be able to present the ideas from their research projects to a general audience, including faculty members who may be unfamiliar with the student’s area of research.
