Regis University | Center for Scholarship and Research Engagement

University Research and Scholarship Council (URSC)

The mission of the Regis URSC is to promote and support scholarly research and creative efforts within Regis University. To accomplish this, the URSC aims to fund faculty and student projects that will contribute to the body of human knowledge and enrich the educational experience. All proposals must be scholarly and constitute an endeavor that advances human knowledge by investigating a problem in a manner that demonstrates in-depth understanding of the context in which the endeavor occurs. The URSC supports a wide range of activities and recognizes that research and scholarship vary among disciplines.

URSC activities are currently funded by Regis University through the Office of the Provost with liaison to administration via the Center for Scholarship and Research Engagement. All research is subject to appropriate approvals from pertinent federal, state, local and University groups.

As part of its mission to promote research, scholarly and creative activities within the Regis University community, the URSC sponsors three award programs:

Faculty Research and Scholarship Grants (FRSG)

Student Research and Scholarship Grants (SRSG)

Student Travel Grants (STG)

Celebration of Scholarship and Research

Please join us April 4, 2018
University Research and Scholarship Council’s
Annual Celebration of Scholarship at Regis University.
This installment will feature a poster symposium that presents the research results of students and faculty from across the University. The event will conclude with a Keynote presentation outlining strategies and tips for conducting successful research in collaboration with undergraduate students.

Event Details

Location: Mountain View Room, Peter Claver Hall, Regis University Northwest Campus.

Times:
Noon - 4:30 p.m. Mountain View Room will be open and posters will be viewable
3-4:30 p.m.: URSC Poster Symposium.

Poster authors will be present and wine and cheese will be available.

5 p.m. URSC Keynote Lecture: Undergraduates as Collaborators: Studying the Physiology of Social Behavior in Lizards
Michele Johnson, PhD.
Associate Professor, Biology
Trinity University, San Antonio
Dr. Johnson has an impressive record of collaborative research with her students, one that has led to publications by undergraduate students in top-tier peer-reviewed journals. She will be talking with the Regis community about her process and how research projects with undergraduate students differ from faculty projects, or those traditionally conducted with the help of graduate students.

Dr. Johnson will also be available for “office hours” to meet and discuss more detailed questions on Wednesday, April 4 and the morning of April 5. Contact CSRE@regis.edu if you would like to reserve a time.

URSC Presentations

In 2017, URSC was delighted to work with Dr. Janna Goodwin to celebrate the arts and scholarship at Regis. Dr. Goodwin performed her comic solo show, "You are Reminded That Your Safety Is Your Own Responsibility." Since the show is traveling show, we did not record the performance. However, we encourage you attend one of her performances.
