Join Marquette University Graduate School for its annual Three Minute Thesis competition. Watch graduate students compete and present their research in three minutes or less using one slide and no animation. There will be an array of presentations from graduate students in various disciplines. See who will walk away with the coveted prize of $500. The winner will represent Marquette University in a regional Three Minute Thesis competition at the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools.

The sixth annual Graduate Student Teaching Excellence award winners will be announced. Two new awards will be given out this year as part of the Graduate School’s 100th Anniversary to recognize faculty who have excelled in the area of mentorship, with one award recognizing Faculty Research Mentorship and a second recognizing Faculty Professional Mentorship. Nominate a faculty member here.

The event is free and open to Marquette and the community. Join us to see what others are saying about graduate research.
