Congratulations to the semi-finals winners who will take the stage for the 2018 UAlberta 3MT Finals on April 11

Ramona Czakert Franson - 20 March 2018

Thank you to all of our talented 2018 UAlberta 3MT Semi-finals participants. It was a difficult decision but the following finalists were chosen based on the 3MT criteria of communication style, comprehension, and engagement.

These students will now perfect and workshop their presentations in order to get ready to take the stage at Convocation Hall for the UAlberta 3MT Finals on April 11, 2018. The UAlberta 3MT Finals winners will receive cash prizes and first place will also win a trip to compete at the 3MT Western Canadian Regional Finals, this year in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Please join us for the 2018 UAlberta 3MT Finals on April 11 in person or live stream and cheer on our graduate students.
