2021-2022 Penn 3MT Competition

Penn 3MT is a university-sponsored competitive speaking competition designed to showcase graduate student research in three-minute talks to a general audience. This is a terrific opportunity for graduate students engaged in substantive original research to develop communication skills and share their work with faculty, students, and staff from across the University.

• Information Sessions: September 8-23, 2021
• Research Communications Workshops: November 2021
• Practice and Feedback Sessions: November 1-December 8, 2021
• Deadline for Feedback: February 9, 2022
• Final submissions due: Tuesday, February 15, 11:59 PM (local time)
• Campus-wide, online Competition: February 2022

In addition to bragging rights, prizes will be awarded to the top two winners and an audience choice winner. Winners will also have the opportunity to participate in regional and national 3 Minute Thesis competitions!

To enter, students must fill out the interest form and submit a video of their three-minute talk to Penn 3MT (details below). From those submissions, finalists will be chosen to compete in the campus-wide, online competition in the Spring. Colleagues and friends of the competitors are warmly invited to watch the videos and vote for the audience choice winner!
