Now in its 7th year, Yale’s 3-Minute Thesis Competition invites Ph.D. students to present their research to the public – in just 3 minutes! You will have the opportunity to:
- Refine communication skills crucial to both academic and nonacademic job searches and workplaces
- Share your exciting work with the Yale community, including Alums around the world
- Win cash prizes in both preliminary and final round competition
- Record your talk with the Yale Broadcast Studio (only preliminary round champions)
If you are considering participating in this year’s competition, join representatives from the Office of Career Strategy (OCS) and the Graduate Writing Lab (GWL) for this information session to learn about the competition and how best to prepare.
During this session, Yale administrators from the OCS and GWL will walk you through the competition itself and answer any questions you might have. We will describe the opportunity for all participants to earn the Poorvu Certificate for Public Communication as you work through the preparation process. In addition, previous finalists will share their advice and insight on how to leverage the 3MT experiential process (meet our panelists below).
2023 3MT applications are currently being accepted (click here to apply). More details will follow about this year’s competition in early January 2023. Make sure to watch videos of the previous 3MT finalists on YouTube.
