Research & Scholarship Governance
MRU Strategic Research and Scholarship Plan 2018-2023
Mount Royal University fosters excellence in undergraduate education enriched by research and scholarship for knowledge generation, application and positive change. We are guided by an institutionally-approved document titled Discovery & Change-making through Research and Scholarship.
A central premise of the plan is an exceptional undergraduate experience that includes thoughtful integration of research and scholarship into the tenure of all Mount Royal students. Learning and participating in research alongside faculty members enhances the experience of undergraduate learners through:
- developing critical, analytic and creative skills,
- improving the understanding and retention of course material,
- understanding knowledge creation processes and the innovation cycle,
- applying new knowledge to novel situations,
- engaging in creating positive change through community engagement, and
- increasing confidence, independence and capacity for complex problem-solving.
The SRSP is organized around advancing progress on five goals and associated strategies:
Goal 1: Our Students. Provide Mount Royal students with undergraduate research opportunities.
Goal 2: Our Researchers and Scholars. Enhance support for research and scholarship.
Goal 3: Our Research Infrastructure. Enhance the space, facilities and access for research and scholarship infrastructure.
Goal 4: Telling our Stories - Celebrating our Successes. Increase dissemination and communication of research and scholarship.
Goal 5: Working Together. Increase opportunities for collaboration.
