Doctoral students who are currently enrolled at UB, actively engaged in dissertation research and have completed their Application to Candidacy, are eligible to enter the 3MT competition.
The 3MT competition cycle begins with the 3MT preliminary round where registered participants will present their three-minute pitch and one static slide to a panel of judges. All participants will benefit by receiving feedback from audience reactors
The virtual 3MT preliminary rounds will take place, Nov. 15-17, 2021.
Register to Compete in UB’s 3MT Competition
Registration closes Friday, Nov. 5, 2021. Winners of the preliminary round will go on to compete for cash awards in the 3MT final competition on Friday, March 4, 2022.
New 3MT Micro-Credential
Doctoral students intending to participate in the 3MT prelims are encouraged to complete the new 3MT Micro-Credential: Communicating Research to Broad Audiences. This micro-credential was designed to both prepare students to communicate their research to non-specialists and to compete in the 3MT competition, and is open to all graduate students.
We have set up vaccine clinics for students, faculty and staff. The pharmacists and students we have working at these sites (below) are prepared to give COVID (for those students that need second shots) and the flu vaccine. It is vitally important to receive the flu vaccine as well, since the CDC is predicting a bad year for that. Students should bring their ID and any insurance card so the vaccines will be FREE!
The schedules are:
Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Dear Club Officers, Representatives and Students,
As noted in the GSA COVID Memo 2021 that was sent out to all clubs with their club activation email on August 2nd, all in person activities/meetings/events, both on and off campus, require prior approval from both the University and GSA. Please follow the detailed instructions listed in the memo. The highlights are listed below. Any club found to have violated these procedures will have their club derecognized and will lose all of the benefits of university-wide recognition for the year, such as the ability to reserve space, fundraise, and spend your club budget.
We will be relying very heavily on UBLinked this year in order to help us all comply with the various rules and regulations. A representative from UBLinked gave a tutorial on the site at the GSA Board of Directors meeting on September 8th. Here is that portion of the meeting for everyone’s future reference.
Highlights for planning an in person activity:
If you have any questions about the new policies or guidelines, please reach out to the GSA office for assistance well in advance. The process for getting an in person event pre-approved can take several weeks, so please make sure to plan accordingly!
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
