Welcome to the Niigaani-gichigami (Lake Ontario) Room!
In this room, we have two videos for you to stream. The video on the RIGHT is the full Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition and the video on the LEFT is just the student presentation portion. This room is also for you to relax and have a good conversation with some colleagues.
NMU began its annual participation in the 3MTcompetition in 2018 and continues to expand its programming. Each year, NMU students will compete for recognition, prizes, and a spot in the regional competition. Three Minute Thesis is an international competition that cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition hones students' ability to effectively explain their research in three minutes to a non-specialist audience. This year's event took place on February 15, 2021.
