Three Minute Thesis – Student Submissions Needed

The Graduate School is seeking grad student research video submissions for the annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition! Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) 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 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. Cash prizes include $5,000 for first place, $3,000 for second place, and $2,000 for the People’s Choice Award winner. The link to the 3MT webpage is below, as well as some additional information about the Graduate School’s 3MT® competition. Please email Allison Loy (Loy2@purdue.edu), with any questions!
