Nominate a graduate student to represent your academic unit!
The Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Scholars (OGSPS, formerly The Grad School) annual Three Minute Thesis competition is scheduled for April 15th! To increase academic representation in our 3MT(r) competition, we are asking that faculty members nominate talented graduate student(s) to represent their academic units. This nomination is simply intended to help our office identify and encouraged talented students to participate.
Nominees must be current Purdue graduate students or postdoctoral scholars in the final stages of their research. Nominations are not required to submit a draft video, but each will be contacted by our staff and encouraged to register for the competition.
The following link is to the nomination form, as well as some additional information about the competition.

What is 3MT(r)?
Three Minute Thesis (3MT(r)) is a research communication competition that helps graduate students develop academic, presentation, and research communication skills so that they can effectively explain their research to a non-specialist audience. During each competition, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars will have three minutes to present a compelling discussion on their research topic, including its significance and relevance, to the public. This is a fast-paced competition where the top 10 finalists compete by summarizing their two to three-plus years of research in only three minutes with only one slide.
The cash awards for this year's competition are $5,000 for first place, $3,000 for second place, and $2,000 for the People's Choice Award winner. The first-place winner will also be invited to compete in the Midwestern Association of Graduate School's (MAGS) annual 3MT(r) competition.
