 REMINDER: Distinguished Dissertation Awards

The deadline for distinguished dissertation nominations is Friday, March 4th. The Distinguished Dissertation Award is for PhD and EdD dissertations defended and submitted to the Graduate School in each calendar year (e.g., 2021). The selection process will occur in the following spring semester (e.g., spring 2022). 

The Distinguished Dissertation Award recognizes original work that makes an unusually significant contribution to the discipline. Both methodological and substantive quality are judged. Awards are given each year in 4 broad disciplinary areas: mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering; social sciences; humanities and fine arts; and biological and life sciences. More details can be found here.



Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition
The Graduate School is excited to host Binghamton University's 3rd annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition on Wednesday, April 27th, 2022 during Research Days

The 3MT is a research-communication competition that was developed by the University of Queensland in 2008 and is currently hosted by more than 900 colleges and universities across 85 countries worldwide. The competition is open to course-complete (CC) master's and ABD doctoral students from all disciplines and the goal is to present their research to a non-specialist audience in 3 minutes or less (180 seconds!) using only one PowerPoint slide. Monetary prizes will be awarded to the top 3 finalists and a People's Choice winner who will be selected in real-time by the audience.

Please encourage eligible students who are conducting exciting research and interested in participating in this year's 3MT Competition to first obtain their faculty adviser's support and then submit the Competition Registration Form by the Friday, March 4th deadline.  Please forward all questions to Ellen Tilden (etilden@binghamton.edu).
