Are you looking for an opportunity to share your scholarly projects, investigations, or inquires? Sign up to present a poster at the FCTL’s Spring Scholarship Summit this April to show off what you’ve been working on in a relaxed interdisciplinary setting. 

The Spring Scholarship Summit is an event that invites faculty to come together to celebrate the inspiring work of those in our campus community and recognize the teaching and learning scholarship that is propelling our university forward. Every year Missouri State faculty are contributing to their fields, exploring new approaches to teaching and learning, and developing projects that make a difference in our campus community and beyond. The Summit provides the perfect relaxed, community-focused venue to bring these efforts into the spotlight, celebrate faculty accomplishments, and encourage the exchange of ideas across disciplines.

The FCTL is now accepting proposals for poster presentations for this event! By presenting a poster at the event, faculty members can share their work or inquiries, discuss their findings, and connect with colleagues who bring different perspectives and experiences to the conversation. Whether you’re conducting research, developing new teaching strategies, or participating in collaborative initiatives, the summit is an opportunity to highlight your personal projects and inspire others.

What Can You Present?

The FCTL welcomes poster proposals highlighting a variety of scholarly projects and initiatives, including:

• Research and Publications: Share findings from your research or highlight publications that contribute to your field.
• Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs): Showcase collaborative projects, shared discoveries, and professional growth achieved through faculty learning communities.
• Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL): Highlight research and innovative approaches aimed at improving teaching practices and student learning outcomes.
• Fellowship Initiatives: Share experiences, accomplishments, and projects developed through fellowship opportunities.

These are just a few examples of the work that can be featured at the summit. Faculty from across disciplines are encouraged to submit proposals for projects outside of these categories as well for consideration.

Note: All presentations at the Summit are poster presentations. The FCTL offers to print posters for accepted presentations as long as they are sent to the center by April 7, 2027. 

Why Present at the Summit?

The Spring Scholarship Summit is more than an opportunity to display your work; it’s a chance to connect with fellow faculty members, discover what colleagues across campus are working on, and exchange ideas that could lead to new collaborations and opportunities.
