Valcin Wins People’s Choice Award

Mariot Valcin, Jr., a student in our MA program with a concentration in MTL, won the People’s Choice Award for the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition.

The Dean of ECU’s Graduate School, Paul Gemperline, mentioned Valcin’s achievement in his recent newsletter.

The Three-Minute Thesis is an international competition for graduate students to present their research in 3 minutes or less using only 1 slide. The first 3MT was held at The University of Queensland in 2008 with 160 PhD students competing. Enthusiasm for the 3MT concept grew and its widespread implementation by universities has led to the development of an international competition.
