FW: 3MT Deadline Approaching

From: gs-dept-grad-chairs-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:gs-dept-grad-chairs-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca> [mailto:gs-dept-grad-chairs-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca] On Behalf Of Dean of Graduate Studies Sent: January-06-14 2:44 PM To: FGS Dept Heads; FGS Grad Chairs Subject: [Gs-dept-grad-chairs] 3MT Deadline Approaching [Image removed by sender. Three Minute Thesis Competition] To: Department Heads & Graduate Chairs Subject: 3MT(r) Application Deadline There is only one week left to register for this year's 3MT(r) 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(r) 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(r) 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<http://umanitoba.ca/3mt>. Apply now: umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/3mt/apply.html<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/3mt/apply.html> The online application closes at noon on Monday, 13 January 2014. Cash Prizes! First place: $5,000 Second place: $2,000 People's choice: $1,000 I appreciate your continued support of this fun and informative event. _______________________________________ John (Jay) Doering, Ph.D., P.Eng., FCSCE, FEC Vice-Provost (Graduate Education) and Dean (Faculty of Graduate Studies) 500 University Centre, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2 Tel: (204) 474-9887 | Fax: (204) 474-7553 ________________________________ Faculty of Graduate Studies<http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/> * Contact Us<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/aboutus/contact.html> * Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/umgradstudies/> * Twitter<http://www.twitter.com/umgradstudies/> * 3MT<http://umanitoba.ca/3mt/> ________________________________
