Ten graduate students present their research – with a three-minute time limit – in Oct. 30 Three Minute Thesis competition at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Graduate Dean Steve Matson: ‘Carolina seeks to encourage undergraduates that they have much to gain – and to share with the world – by applying to graduate school and further expanding their research goals.’

At the annual Three Minute Thesis competition finals, 10 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate students had only three minutes to explain their months — or years — of research.

One by one, the graduate students walk to the front of the auditorium, with three minutes – and not a second more – to present their original research findings before an attentive audience and panel of judges.

Fellowships give grad students dedicated time and funds to advance dissertation research
