Three Minute Thesis (3MT®)

Laney Graduate School students who participate receive periodic feedback and one-on-one coaching as they prepare their presentations for the popular 3MT Finals competition, tentatively scheduled for early April, 2022.
Benefits of participation include sharing your work and its impact with a wider audience, refining your presentation skills, joining the 3MT community around the world (3MTs are now held at over 600 universities in 60 countries), and potentially becoming Emory’s 2022 3MT winner and advancing to the regional competition.

Applications Open for the
Edward A. Bouchet Graduate Honor Society

The Society acknowledges outstanding scholarly achievement and promotes diversity and excellence in doctoral education and the professoriate. It is a network of preeminent scholars who exemplify academic and personal excellence, foster environments of support, and serve as examples of
CLASS: 1) Character; 2) Leadership; 3) Advocacy for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in the academy; 4) Scholarship; and 5) Service. In the spirit of Dr. Bouchet’s commitment to these ideals, inductees into the
