The Graduate Research Symposium will hold a lively Faculty 3MR Competition in conjunction with the Faculty Scholarship Celebration! With a total of 18 faculty participants ranging across disciplines, we are excited to host this engaging event and award cash prizes to the winners. With only three minutes and a single static slide, faculty members will showcase their scholarship, research, and creative endeavors.

This event will be held on Thursday, March 23rd from 11am to 12pm in the Grand Room (UC). This unique presenting style was started at the University of Queensland in Australia in 2008 (3MT) and has now spread to more than 350 universities across the world. Following the 3MR Competition, the Faculty Scholarship Celebration will be hosted by the Graduate School & Research and will include lunch (RSVP required).
