“I am delighted to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the participants and winners of this year’s Florida Atlantic 3MT® competition,” said , Ph.D., dean of the Graduate College and associate vice president of academic affairs at the John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter. “Graduate students are fundamental to our university’s research and scholarly endeavors, driving innovation and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. The 3MT® competition stands as a testament to their ability to distill complex research into clear, compelling narratives. This year’s competition was nothing short of exceptional, showcasing the diverse and impactful research being conducted across our university.”

A total of 37 graduate students pitched their research projects to a live audience, with 15 awarded scholarship prizes throughout the entirety of the competition.
