Following last year’s inaugural competition, the UAF Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition
returns to UAF for the fall with a launch event via Zoom on Sept. 1. Developed by the University of Queensland in Australia, 3MT competitions challenge

using only a single PowerPoint slide. 3MT promotes students’ academic and professional
communication skills and increases their ability to share their scholarships while
engaging and entertaining a general audience. Please visit the UAF 3MT competition website for more information.
