69传媒graduate students compete in the Three Minute Thesis
They've researched. They've studied. Now graduate students at the 69传媒 are putting their hard work to the test: they're cramming years of study into 180 seconds in UPEI's first ever Three Minute Thesis competition.
The Three Minute Thesis is a skills development activity developed by the University of Queensland, Australia, which challenges thesis-based graduate students to explain their research project to a general audience in just three minutes.
Students will compete against each other for three prizes: third place wins $50; second place wins $100; and first place wins $200 and a trip to Halifax to participate in the regional Three Minute Thesis competition.
The competition will be broken into two evenings-Tuesday, March 18 and Tuesday, March 25. Both events begin at 7:00 pm in The Wave, in UPEI's W.A. Murphy Student Centre.
The Three Minute Thesis is organized by the 69传媒Graduate Student Association, the 69传媒Student Union, and the Vice-President Research and Graduate Studies.
