Students and faculty turned out Tuesday to watch the first round of the Three Minute Thesis competition, in the CAW Student Centre’s Ambassador Auditorium.

The competition challenges graduate students to make three-minute presentations on the topic of their thesis or dissertation. There are cash prizes for the winner and runner-up, who will also go on to represent the University of Windsor in a province-wide competition in April.

The second heat is set for the same venue on Thursday, March 14, at 3 p.m. The March 18 finals, at 2 p.m. in the Ambassador Auditorium, are also open to the public. Find more information on the contest website.
