For the past few years The University of Alabama has participated in the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. The 3MT is a research communication competition which challenges masters and PhD students to present a compelling oration on their thesis topic and its significance in just three minutes. By participating in this competition students will improve their presentation skills and learn how to present complex research topics in a way that a non-expert audience can understand. Past participants have also stated that the competition has helped them in interviews with prospective employers.
If you would like to learn more about the 3MT competition there are two info sessions scheduled for next week:
These are for ALL students, not just those interested in the 3MT competition:
