Tuesday, February 27, 2018 2:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

The University wide competition starts with our department-level heat. We want Management Sciences to be well represented on the university stage!

The 3MT is a university-wide competition for research-based master’s thesis and doctoral students.  Competitors will have 1 slide and 3 minutes to explain their research to a non-specialist audience.

This year we will be running our own department-level heat on February 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm in CPH 4335 with prizes and a winner moving on to the university-wide competition.

Why participate?

  • Prizes in Management Sciences - 1st place $600, 2nd place-$250, 3rd place $150.
  • $1000 prize for the UW winner and the opportunity to compete at the 3MT provincial finals hosted by UW.
  • $500 for the UW runner up.
  • Networking opportunities: discuss your research with other graduate students, faculty, and members of the general community, and increase awareness of your research.
  • Skills training: become a better presenter!
