There will be locations and staff throughout the library - grab a card as you come in and get it marked at the various stations. Turn in your marked card for a chance to win a great raffle prize. More details to come!!
On April 16, the Office of Research will host a Sponsored Research Celebration Lunch, hosted by Kirk Dombrowski, UVM’s Vice President for Research, to celebrate UVM’s top sponsored research faculty.
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an internationally recognized research communication competition that challenges Ph.D. students to present a compelling oration on their research project and its significance in just 180 seconds, in language accessible to a non-specialist audience. UVM’s first 3MT is a celebration of the discoveries made by our Ph.D. students and will allow the broader community to learn about ongoing research at UVM. The competition assists Ph.D. students with fostering effective presentation and research communication skills: it asks Ph.D. researchers to consolidate their ideas, crystallize their research discoveries, and capture the imagination of their audience. Competitors will be judged on comprehension, content, engagement, and communication.
Eligibility: All UVM Ph.D. students who have passed their candidacy examination by the date of the competition are eligible to participate in the 3MT competition.
Rules: present research in non-technical language to a general audience with only one static visual slide to accompany the speech.
Hosted by the Graduate College as part of UVM Research Week
Prizes: All contestants gains invaluable experience.
1st prize: $750
2nd prize: $500
People’s Choice Award: $250
