The “Three Minute Thesis” (3MT) Competition
The Temple University Graduate School and campus partners host an annual 3MT Competition. This competition allows graduate students from the schools and colleges to share a three-minute version of their research with a lay audience. Participating students compete for scholarship awards from the Graduate School.
On April 12, the Spring 2023 competition was held before a live audience for the first time. Earlier competitions were held via Zoom.
