Three Minute Thesis Competition
An 80,000-word thesis would take 9 hours to present. Your time limit... 3 minutes!
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an exercise that develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of research students' capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes in a language appropriate to an intelligent but non-specialist audience. The 3MT® hosted by the Graduate School every spring semester. This year the 3MT® will be held virtually on February 24, 2021 at 5:00 pm EST. Interested in learning more about the 3MT®?
