 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).

Happy Twosday

News from the Graduate School

 Application for Add-On Certificate - Reminder

The Office of Graduate Recruitment and Admissions would like to send a friendly reminder about how matriculated students add a program certificate to their record. Students who are currently enrolled in a degree program should complete the Add-On Certificate Application Form and submit it via their my.binghamton.edu portal by the add/drop deadline of the semester in which they plan to graduate.

**Please note, matriculated graduate students should not use our normal online application to apply for an add-on certificate. This action will result in the removal of a student from their degree program. Students should only use our normal online application to apply for a stand alone certificate if they wish to enroll solely in the certificate program, and not earn a graduate degree.

Additional information and certificate policies are available in the Graduate School Manual. Questions about applying to a certificate program should be directed to the Office of Graduate Recruitment and Admissions via gradadmission@binghamton or 607-777-2151.  

Graduate Academic Writing Consultants

The Graduate Academic Writing Consultants are here to help any Binghamton graduate student with writing a paper, conference presentation, thesis, dissertation chapter, or any academic writing task.  They can help with: developing ideas, organizing paragraphs or sections, structuring an argument, proper citation, proof-reading and copy editing, and grammar. For more information and to sign up for a time, students should visit: https://www.binghamton.edu/grad-school/resources/writing-help.html.
