One slide and three minutes. That's all that graduate student competitors can use during this lively part of the Graduate Research Forum taking place on Thursday, November 21, 2024. This is a great opportunity for competitors to hone their presentation skills, network early in the academic year, and get a chance to qualify to represent the UO at national and international 3MT competitions. (And win cash prizes!). Winners of the UO 3MT competition win cash prizes (First place wins $500; second place $300; third place $200). The first place competitor will be eligible to participate in the regional competition hosted by the Western Association of Graduate Schools in mid-March 2025.
Come support graduate student presenters as they compete in the preliminary rounds between 3pm and 4:30pm at the Crater Lake Rooms and in the Diamond Lake Room. Then, join us to watch the six finalists in Crater Lake Room North!
11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
