The 3MT is a celebration of graduate student research that challenges grad students to communicate the key concepts of their research in a compelling presentation of 3 minutes or less. Twenty-eight Carleton graduate students competed by presenting their 3MTs to a panel of judges consisting of members of GSA, Carleton faculty and staff, and the community. 3MT presentations were judged on the basis of communication style, comprehension, and engagement.
