Imagine hearing an 80,000 word thesis explained in less than 180 seconds. Come out to this year’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT®), an annual competition that challenges Ph.D. and master’s students to present a compelling oration on their thesis topic and its significance in just three minutes.

The 2017 3MT® Competition at NC State University will be held in the Duke Energy Hall in James B. Hunt Jr. Library. Cash prizes are awarded to first- and second-place winners and to a “People’s Choice” winner, chosen by audience members. Enjoy some Howling Cow ice cream and support the finalists from your program or college!

This event made possible in part by private gifts to the Graduate Education Enhancement Fund.
