JMU’s Fourth Annual Three Minute Thesis competition was held Friday, January 22, 2021. This was a unique competition because it was the first time the event was held virtually on our campus! Students not only had to present; but create videos, slides, and learn how to edit them together. They did a wonderful job and their videos are viewable below.
After deliberation, the judges decided that Dominique Lockwood won the first place prize with their presentation. In second place was Rania Zaied, and in third Julian White. Allison Pingston’s presentation won the People’s Choice award based on votes from the audience.
