This is the last week to register for the Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition, which challenges graduate students to present their research to a non-specialist audience in an engaging and compelling way in only three minutes.

Sponsored by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and scheduled to be held on campus in March, the competition is open to doctoral and masters students registered in a dissertation, thesis or major research paper.

There is a $1,000 first prize, $500 for the runner-up and a $250 prize for the people’s choice winner. UWindsor’s champion will represent the University, all expenses paid, at the provincial final to be held in London on April 23. The top three provincial finalists will progress to the national competition in June.

More details on registration, eligibility and rules are available at www.uwindsor.ca/graduate/three-minute-thesis.
