ÑÇÖÞÌìÌÃ

We began with 10 polished and articulate 3-minute graduate student research presentations. And in the end, when the dust settled, the people’s choice ballots counted and the judges’ scorecards tallied, prizes were awarded to a select few, but applause and accolades, shared by all.

This year more than 100 graduate students have taken on the challenge to participate in ÑÇÖÞÌìÌÃ’s fifth annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition, honed their public speaking skills, and competed in faculty & department organized heats over 5 weeks of competition.

This opportunity to reach a global audience is bigger than ever.  The top 3 presenters from today will present with SFU’s top 3 on Friday, March 27^th in an SFU/ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Winners’ Showcase.  ÑÇÖÞÌìÌÃ’s first place finisher will advance to a regional competition on April 30^th at Thompson Rivers University. Top finishers from that competition will go on to contend for national honours in a virtual completion sponsored by the

We’d like to extend a special thank-you to all the department and Faculty level heat organizers and a big shout- out to our semi-finals host, Dr. Rachel Fernandez, Associate Dean, PDFO and Student Professional Development and final’s host Kathryn Gretsinger, Instructor, ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà of Journalism.

Our finals judging panel is also most deserving of a big thank-you – their task was surely the most difficult of all.
