3M Thesis Heats

Posted by Stephanie Rogers on March 25, 2026 in News

The first ever Ä¢¹½AV Agricultural campus 3M Thesis Heats were held Monday, March 23.  Winners were Caitlin McCavour of Plant, Food and Environmental Sciences and Sahil Sahil from Engineering.

The 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition brings together the Ä¢¹½AV community to give graduate student researchers a platform to share and celebrate their ideas and compete for cash prizes.

Students have three minutes to present their research in as engaging a manner as possible for a non-specialist audience, with one PowerPoint slide permitted as a visual aid.

3MT heat participants who move forward in the competition will have the chance to win the following prizes during the finals:

First place: $1,000 and eligible participants have the opportunity to represent
Ä¢¹½AV at the Eastern Regional 3MT Competition
Second place: $500
Third place: $250
People’s Choice Award: $500 (in addition to any other prize money received)

Congratulations and Good luck as you move forward!
