Wednesday:
Three Minute Thesis
Commonwealth Auditorium
7:00 PM
A&S Graduate Students get one slide, no props, and just three minutes to effectively explain their research and its importance to a general audience. The 3MT Competition is a signature event of the Graduate & Honors Research Symposium hosted by the A&S Graduate Center and the A&S Graduate Student Association.
The event will feature Graduate A&S students presenting their research in competition for four prizes. A panel of VIP judges will select the top three presentations, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite presentation for the "People's Choice" award.
The competition will begin at 7:00; it will be followed by a reception in the Tidewater Rooms. Free and open to the public.
