Three Minute Thesis Finalists Compete on Oct. 29
Come out and support our finalists as they compete in the 5th annual Three Minute Thesis on Oct. 29. Ten graduate students representing five NC State colleges will compete for cash prizes as they share their research project in just three minutes.
Three Minute Thesis, an international competition, challenges graduate students to share their research in three minutes with one slide. The finalists were chosen during preliminary rounds held Oct. 8-10.
The 3MT finals will be held in the Hunt Library’s Duke Energy Center, 3-5 p.m. on Oct. 29 with a reception to follow for the finalists and their guests. Tom Stafford, vice chancellor for student affairs emeritus, will be master of ceremonies for the event.
