3MT: Skills Valuable Beyond Degree Conferral
If your grandmother asked you about your research or scholarship, would you be able to explain it to her in language she understood? And if a journalist called, would you be able to explain it clearly and concisely?
Communicating your research to people in your field might be easy, but stripping away the jargon for a general audience is another story.
In the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, graduate students compete for monetary prizes by distilling their thesis or dissertation research into a three-minute presentation in front of a non-technical audience with the use of one static slide. Learning to speak plainly about a complicated topic while showing its impact is a skill that will affect students’ futures in unexpected ways. Just ask a few of our 3MT alumni.

On a good day, public speaking can prompt nerves in the most eloquent of speakers. However, being asked to present one’s graduate scholarship in plain language and in three minutes or less? That takes the challenge to a whole new level.
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a global competition that calls for graduate students to present their scholarship in just three minutes and with one slide. The Boise State 3MT competition will be a live webinar held at 10 a.m. to noon. on Tuesday, Feb. 2. This event celebrates the exciting research taking place at Boise State and highlights graduate students who are working to find solutions to real-world challenges. The campus community is invited and encouraged to attend the competition.
Celebrating a decade of international collaboration
(25 January 2021)
7 leading universities, partnered across the world
From cyber security to quantum science, the world today requires global innovation. That’s why we’re proud to be part of the Matariki Network of Universities (MNU), a group of seven like-minded institutions spanning three continents, aimed at sharing ideas and learning.
A decade ago, this new global network of universities was launched to increase opportunities for its member institutions to share ideas, expertise and best practices.
To date, the Matariki Network has offered rich opportunities for student and staff mobility, resulting in international student collaboration and over 2,000 co-publications in diverse fields.
