3MT Final Competition

An 80,000-word thesis or dissertation would take nine hours to present.
Their time limit is 3 minutes!
Join the Graduate School for the 3MT Final Competition at the Alumni House. This event is free and open to the public.
The 3MT Competition challenges master’s and doctoral students to explain their thesis or dissertation research to non-specialist audiences in just three minutes with one PowerPoint slide. This competition celebrates the discoveries made by graduate students and encourages them to communicate the importance of their work to the broader community.
The winners will be selected and announced at the end of the final competition: first place ($1,000), second place ($500), and People’s Choice ($250). The audience will select the People’s Choice winner, so come out, watch the competition, and cast your vote!
