91制片厂's Graduate School will host its sixth annual 3-Minute-Thesis (3MT庐) competition on Jan 20. The students and a live audience will be in the University Theatre for the presentations. The event will also be available via livestream.
Students have three minutes to present their scholarship in such a way that a general audience understands and appreciates its importance and achievement.
The competition is from 6 to 8 p.m. Barbara Hamm Lee, owner of Sharing Info, Inc., and host of WHRO's Another View, is the emcee. She is joined by three VIP judges from the community who bring diverse academic backgrounds and expertise to their evaluations of the students.
Graduate students representing a range of advanced degrees (at both doctoral and master's levels) are competing for a $1,000 first prize, $750 second prize and $500 "people's choice" award (the audience will choose who wins the $500). The first-place finisher will represent 91制片厂 at a regional competition hosted by the Council of Southern Graduate Schools in March in Tampa, Florida.
The competitors are:
- Samantha Fitzer, psychology
- Gyan Kharel, chemistry
- Ricardo Randall, education
- Megan Strowger, psychology
- Heather Sheffey, ocean and earth sciences
