The 2022 Three-Minute Thesis Grand Finale will take place on Thursday, April 14, at 6 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. Hosted by the Office of Graduate Education and Life, this competition will be judged by five WVU staff and faculty members.
The public is invited to attend the event to vote for their favorite presenter for the People’s Choice Award.
This 3MT competition, originally developed by the University of Queensland, challenges doctoral students to present their research topic and its significance in three minutes using just one slide. The 3MT competition develops academic, presentation and research communication skills, as well as supports the development of graduate students' capacity to communicate their research succinctly to a non-specialist audience.
