鈥淥ur graduate programs seek to prepare students for academic and non-academic careers after completing their advanced degree,鈥 said Robert W. Stackman, Jr., Ph.D., professor and dean of 新澳门六合彩投注鈥檚 Graduate College. 鈥淥ne of the critical skills that hiring employers look for in applicants is the ability to effectively communicate. The Three Minute Thesis (3MT 庐) Competition enables participants to distill their years-long graduate research into a well-crafted and clearly articulated message.
