Subject: 3MT® Application Deadline

 

There is only one week left to register for this year's 3MT® competition.  Thanks to your support, last year's competition was well-received and created quite a "buzz"!  We'd like to build on that success.  Please encourage the graduate students in your unit to participate in this year's competition.  

 

I am strongly encouraging all graduate students in thesis-based programs to take part in this year's 3MT® competition.  As you know, the competition requires a challenger to contextualize and articulate (in three minutes or less) their research.  Last year's challengers will attest to the fact that this is not an easy task, but was one that led to personal growth. Participating in 3MT® is the perfect opportunity for a student to refine their communication skills and provides a valuable opportunity to publicize their research. 

 

If you'd like to see last year's winners, please visit the following link: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/3mt/winners.html

 

The competition is open to master’s and doctoral students in thesis-based programs. Find out more information at: umanitoba.ca/3mt.
