Student Research & Ideas Fair 2022 - Call for Proposals

St. Thomas University students are invited to participate in the 18th Annual Student Research & Ideas Fair by giving a 15-minute paper presentation, a poster presentation, or presenting their work in another medium such as a video broadcast or a podcast. Any and all topics of student research are eligible for inclusion in the Fair. 

 

This annual event provides an opportunity for students to present the results of a substantive body of independent research, and to learn what is involved in academic conference participation. The Fair will be held on the afternoon of Friday, March 18, 2022. It is currently planned as an in-person event if Public Health restrictions allow; however, contingency plans are being made for a virtual event if that becomes necessary. A final determination on this matter will be made in early March.

 

Students must have a faculty mentor to assist them. Faculty mentors will help students with the choice of research topic, the preparation of the proposal, and their presentation.

 

Proposals must be submitted by Monday, February 21, 2022, in MS Word format, and must include the following information:

 

  • student’s name, department or program, and year of study
  • contact information (email address)
  • title of presentation
  • a short abstract (maximum 200 words)
  • faculty mentor’s name and department or program
  • presentation format and audio-visual requirements
  • whether the research project is from an honours thesis, independent study, class project, or other scholarly activity 

Please e-mail proposals to the Office of Research Services (research@stu.ca).
