Knott Featured in Graduate School News

Sophronia Knott was featured in the Graduate School News – December 2025 email. She discussed her experience as the 2016 3MT Grand Champion Winner.

When advising students considering the 3MT, Knott stresses the importance of showmanship as much as scholarship. She encourages participants to watch previous winners and engaging TED Talks, noting that strong content alone isn’t enough—you need a little “razzle dazzle” to stand out. Memorization, practice, and intentional movement all play a crucial role in delivering a polished and memorable performance.
