“I am so thankful to the Threesis team for organizing and hosting a wonderful event and for believing in me and always having something positive and encouraging to say, especially when I was doubting myself. The entire concept of the GSAS Threesis Academic Challenge is amazing!”
GSAS Threesis Academic Challenge Testimonials
“I was ecstatic to have the chance to give a voice to this movement in my Threesis presentation, and even more ecstatic to see that my research resonated with colleagues and peers outside of my field. With the shiny Threesis cup in hand, I walked away from the competition with much more than just a bullet point to add to my resume.”
Hannah Leffingwell, French Studies - 2016 Threesis Champion
“I think that it’s really cool to, go out of your comfort zone to meet people who aren’t studying the same thing as you.”
Loren Dent, International Relations - 2017 2nd Place & Audience Choice Award Winner
“My experience of participating in Threesis will always be one of my finest memories at NYU. I was able to improve my presentation skills and interact with some of the finest scholars representing a wide array of fields, from data science to museum studies, who have now become some of my really close friends.”
Shashank Gandhi, Biology - 2014 Threesis Finalist
“I think it’s an incredibly way to actually think critically about your research. To explain something simply you have to know it deeply.”
Joshua Kruchten, English - 2017 3rd Place Winner
“In the comfort of our departments, it's easy to fall back on jargon. But Threesis is all about sharing our research, however specialized, in accessible language so anyone with three minutes to listen can understand.”
Christopher Cappelluti , Interdisciplinary Studies and Human Thought - 2012 Threesis Champion
"When people tell you there is no experience like Threesis, they mean it! And I can attest to it. Threesis is about learning, about meeting awesome people, and about sharing ideas. From attending the mentoring sessions and hearing valuable advice from mentors, to Threesis week when you get to attend workshops and learn from pros, these activities are all done with you in mind."
Vincent Luo, Biology - 2015 Threesis Audience Choice Winner
"Threesis was one of the most valuable experiences of my graduate career. It allowed me to really think about my research and determine what the main points were that I wanted to communicate to an audience, and I met a lot of smart and wonderful people who I still keep in touch with today. It's exciting, fun, and not to mention, a great achievement to put on your resume. Highly recommend it!"
Emma Mishel, Applied Quantitative Research - 2014 Threesis Finalist
