The Three Minute Thesis competition offers up to $1000 in cash prizes for the seniors who can most effectively summarize their senior projects in three minutes or less.

Hamilton is one of only a few undergraduate institutions in the U.S. that sponsors the competition.

Funding for the 3MT at Hamilton comes from the Ferguson Endowment, which advances oral communication across campus.
