Student Research Day 2023
/Student Research Day is fast approaching, with many interesting poster presentations and oral presentations scheduled, Student Research Day 2023 should be a fun one! Every year, the university hosts a Student Research Day, typically in March towards the end of the academic semester. The aim of the day is to display the research students have been conducting throughout the academic year and throughout the summer with professors. Students from any and all departments have the opportunity to present their research and their findings, either through a poster presentation or through a ten-minute oral presentation.
Students with poster presentations are asked to stay at their poster for the evening and other students, faculty members, and members of the public can come and ask them questions regarding their research. Students with oral presentations will be given ten minutes to present their research topic, findings, and all other relevant information.
For the 2022-2023 academic year, Student Research Day will be this Thursday, March 23, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The event will take place in Mulroney Hall, with presentations taking place in three auditoriums simultaneously, beginning with an opening statement by Dr. Richard Isnor. In auditorium 2030, health-related research presentations will take place. The policy and humanities presentations will take place in the Art Gallery and the science presentations will be in auditorium 3024. At the end of the evening, there will be a prize draw for all student researchers as well as closing statements by members of the faculty and administration.
In recent years, there have not been many student research days due to COVID. The last few Student Research Days have been given virtually, and it is safe to say faculty and the administration must be happy the event is being given in person this year.
After Student Research Day, students can stay in Mulroney Hall to attend Elder Albert Marshall’s talk on “Etuaptmumk: Two-Eyed Seeing.” The talk will begin at 7:30 p.m. and is to take place in auditorium 4032. The talk will specifically address Two-Eyed Seeing in the context of climate change. It is sure to be an interesting talk, and all are encouraged to attend!
