Three Minute Thesis registration opens August 1

The 2024 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) final competition will take place during Meliora Weekend on Friday, September 27. An awards reception and University alumni mixer will immediately follow the event. 3MT is an opportunity for Rochester doctoral students to present their dissertation research findings to a general audience in three minutes with only one PowerPoint slide. The goal is for students to communicate their research to a non-specialist audience vividly and engagingly while emphasizing its key point.

Contest registration opens on August 1. Find more information here. Email Jodi Miller with questions.
