Thursday: Three Minute Thesis
Commonwealth Auditorium
5:30-7:30 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, the Charles Center, and the Journal Club of 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. Undergraduate Honors students will also present a showcase of 2-Minute talks.
The competition will begin at 5:30 and be followed by a reception in the Tidewater Rooms. Free and open to the public.
