UM 3MT©

At 3MT©, graduate students have just three minutes to present their research and its importance in plain language, using only a single slide to illustrate their topic. The competitors are judged on comprehension, engagement and ease of communication. The winner of the UM 3MT© final event will go on to represent UM at the Western Regional Final.
