Join us May 28-29th, 2025, at Signal Hill Campus, and online!

Engage Memorial Symposium 2025: Practice and Place is an opportunity for Memorial’s many publicly engaged students, faculty/ASMs and staff to share experiences and learn from each other.

Anyone at Memorial with an interest in public engagement is invited to register! That said, the we think it will be especially useful for graduate students, faculty & ASMs, and staff.

This year’s Symposium will feature:

• A keynote address by Social Science and Humanities Research Council president, Dr. Ted Hewitt, addressing the question “What do Universities Owe the Public” followed by a panel discussion including Dr. Barbara Neis and Dr. Rashid Sumaila.
• A plenary panel exploring the connections between Memorial University and the development of Newfoundland and Labrador.
• Hands-on workshops about the practice of knowledge mobilization, led by national experts from Research Impact Canada.
• Presentations, panels and performances showcasing the expertise and experiences of Memorial students, faculty/ASMs, staff, and public partners.

The symposium will mark two significant events at Memorial: the launch of the renewed Public Engagement Framework and Memorial University’s 100th anniversary.

 Engage Memorial Symposium 2025: Practice and Place is supported in part by Memorial University's 100^th Anniversary Fund.
