Xavier University's Office of the Graduate School, in conjunction with the University Library, is proud to present the Three Minute Thesis ® Competition. The Three Minute Thesis® (3MT®) competition, founded by the University of Queensland, has been adopted by over 900 higher institutions across 85 countries worldwide. This competition challenges graduate students to present their graduate level research and/or academic research projects in a three minute-or-less pitch-style setting in front of an audience while competing for monetary prizes. The challenge of this competition is for students to effectively present their research using language understandable by a non-specialist audience.
