UNCW held the spring Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition on April 1st during the Student Research and Creativity Showcase. The Graduate School sponsored the event, and prizes were funded via the Dr. Ralph W. Brauer Fellowship.
The 3MT is an international competition that began at the University of Queensland Australia in 2008 to help graduate students learn to talk succinctly about their research to a non-specialist audience. This competition is now held at over 900 universities in more than 85 countries worldwide. The graduate school hopes to make the 3MT a tradition at UNCW.
Thirteen graduate students competed in the virtual competition.
