College of Graduate Studies Awards Opportunities:
Three Minute Thesis Awards Program, 2022/23
View Three Minute Thesis Awards Details
Originally developed by the University of Queensland, the Three Minute Thesis is an awards competition that enhances skills of communication and presentation. Presenting an oral communication of master's or doctoral research in three minutes or less to a non-specialist audience can be challenging to students and professionals alike, but is an important skill to develop for conferences and the job market.
Learn how to effectively summarize your research and make a perfect pitch that is designed for all audiences. Students have just three minutes and the aid of one Powerpoint slide to communicate their research effectively to an intelligent, but non-specialist audience.
The 3MT awards competition, hosted by the College of Graduate Studies, has registration open to present until December 2 with presentations delivered and judged in February. Monetary prizes will be awarded, $500 (first place) and $250 (runner-up). The first place winner will represent CSU in at the 3MT competition sponsored by the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools in March in Chicago.
Learn more about CSU's competion by viewing the document on how to participate and judging criteria, as well as reviewing the 3MT webpage.
CSU 3MT Builds Skills! A priceless reward of the 3MT competition is that, in addition to the awards competition, participants will have training and development opportunities to maximize skills in building, improving, practicing, and presenting your pitch, all while gaining valuable feedback from experts and peers.
Students from a wide variety of academic backgrounds partcipate in the 3MT and are encouraged to present. You can find successful 3MT presentations from across the globe at the 3MT website.
You can learn more about the 3MT, how to participate, and tips for crafting a successful presentation at our upcoming informational workshop on Thursday, December 1 at 11:30 a.m. in 104 Parker Hannifin Hall.
