Research and Mount Royal

2014/2015 Viewbook 25

Undergraduate research is a critical component of Mount Royal’s programming and is an inspiring way for students to work one-on-one with faculty. At Mount Royal, we pride ourselves on the fact that many of our faculty are active researchers. Mount Royal is a student-focused university, which means our faculty bring their research into the classroom. Whether it’s through teaching research techniques, demonstrating cutting-edge work or directly involving undergraduates in projects, you have an opportunity to be part of the process. Sonya Jakubec (pictured, right), is an associate professor in Mount Royal’s School of Nursing. Her research at the Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park investigates how the mental wellbeing of adults with disabilities (and their caregivers) is impacted by natural environments. This important project was done in partnership with Alberta Parks and the Alberta Addictions and Mental Health Research Program. Providing undergraduate students with research opportunities at the community and international level is another example of ways in which Mount Royal delivers on its commitment to being outcome focused through personalized learning and quality teaching.

Page 28: MRU Viewbook 2014/2015

With Mount Royal’s distinctive mix of foundational and professional programs, our emphasis on teaching and learning serves two purposes. It is outcome driven, with specific areas of study focused on preparing our students to pursue studies in graduate or professional schools or to excel in real-world workplaces. It also encompasses the practices of critical thinking and intellectual exploration that will empower students to “teach themselves” in every sphere of life, long after graduation.

Teaching is our focus
