About this Event

It's 3MT Time!

Boost skills - Gain visibility - Expand your network

The Three-Minute Thesis competition, or 3MT, challenges graduate students to share their thesis research within three minutes. Each faculty holds a Faculty Heat, and the winner moves on to the SFU 3MT Final. The SFU winner represents SFU at the Western Regional Competition - and possibly National!

A panel of faculty judges votes for the best presentation, with the People's Choice Award voted by the audience.
