The Graduate School will host the university-wide Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition on Wednesday, April 3 from 10 am-noon in the Charles Carroll Room of the Stamp Student Union. In the 3MT contest, students compete to communicate the significance of their scholarly research to an educated lay audience in just three minutes. The competitors will present before a live audience and a five-person judging panel. This event is open to the public. No registration is required to attend.

The Graduate School was established on March 14, 1919 with just 13 students. At yesterday's Centennial luncheon, over 200 people joined the celebration and discussed the future of graduate education at Maryland.  President Wallace Loh, Brit Kirwan, Alan Leshner, Bonnie Thornton Dill, Kim Griffin, Amy Gardner, and Amy Steele headlined the event.

As part of the University of Maryland’s membership in the National Science Foundation’s CIRTL Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) grant, the Graduate School recently launched a series of training workshops on diversity and inclusion for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty on the campus.
