Research month is wrapping up at Nipissing University with the Three Minute Thesis competition.
Graduate students are challenged to present complex research material in an engaging, compelling way.
The public is invited to Thursday’s event, which takes place from 3 pm to 5 pm in the Nipissing Theatre.
“The Three Minute Thesis competition is a fun way to share the diverse graduate research happening at Nipissing,” shared Dr. Barbi Law, Interim Dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Nipissing University. “While summarizing complex research in under three minutes in a way that’s easily understood can be difficult, our graduate students are always up for the challenge.”
