What is the 3MT

The 3MT for short, is a research communication competition designed to help graduate students develop presentation skills by consolidating their research and presenting it succinctly to a non-specialist audience, all in just three minutes. Although the name of the event is Three Minute Thesis, as a PSU Masters or Doctoral student, you are eligible to present any research you are conducting for a thesis, dissertation, or culminating project.

First Place, Runner Up, and People's Choice prizes are awarded.
