As part of Arts & Sciences Showcase Week, ‘CC in 3’ is a fast-paced, engaging research presentation event inspired by the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition.
This is a rare opportunity for Online, CCG, and Day Campus students to showcase their research or academic projects in a concise, compelling format.
Participants have just three minutes to present their research using one static slide—no animations, transitions, or videos—making their work accessible and engaging for a broad audience.
‘CC in 3’ is more than just a research presentation—it's an opportunity to bridge disciplines, engage with a wider audience, and refine essential skills for academic and professional success.
By participating in CC in 3, students gain the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely, making their work accessible to those outside their field. In today’s world, where interdisciplinary collaboration and effective public communication are critical, these skills are invaluable.
Additionally, this event provides a platform for Online and CCG students to share their research alongside Day Campus students, fostering a greater sense of academic community across Columbia College.
As part of Arts & Sciences Showcase Week, CC in 3 joins other major events like the Science Symposium and Communitas, ensuring that students from all backgrounds and disciplines have a space to present their ideas, engage in scholarly discussions, and celebrate their achievements.
