This event challenges graduate students of any discipline to present their research to a general audience in under three minutes for a chance to win up to $2,000 and represent ISU at the state-level 3MT Competition. Participating in 3MT helps graduate students develop vital research communication skills, foster a stronger research culture across campus, and build their professional and academic network.

With 30 competitors representing 21 different graduate programs from nearly every college, we have a very strong field of competition this year. Please see the event webpage for a full listing of this year's competitors and the forthcoming event program. https://www.isu.edu/3minutethesis/
