Concord Law Opportunity

See attached

A partnership has been established that allows WL domestic graduate students to take online courses or microcredentials with Concord Law School through Purdue Global at no or reduced cost. Because Purdue Global/Concord is not connected with SEVIS, international students in the U.S. on residential visas are not eligible to take any classes from them (not even the 1 online class up to 3 credits they are eligible with through Purdue West Lafayette). So, this offering is currently only available for domestic students. See the attached “Flyer” for details, and the other two attachments for course offerings.

 

Interested students should contact Christal Musser in the Office of Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs at PGConcordWL@purdue.edu to learn more about this opportunity and discuss their specific funding situation and courses of interest. This could be a wonderful opportunity for students wishing to add an understanding of various legal practices they could encounter in their engineering careers.

 

 

3MT Competition Now Accepting Faculty Nominations

Virtual 3MT® 2023 Nomination Form:

https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_204r4KOtt2fUIbI

 

What is 3MT®?

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition that helps graduate students develop academic, presentation, and research communication skills so that they can effectively explain their research to a non-specialist audience. During each competition, graduate students will have three minutes to present a compelling discussion on their research topic, including its significance and relevance, to the general public. This is a fast-paced competition where the top 10 finalists compete by summarizing their two to three-plus years of research in only three minutes with only one slide. 

 

The cash awards for this year’s competition have been increased substantially, including $5,000 for first place, $3,000 for second place, and $2,000 for the People’s Choice Award winner. The first-place winner will also be invited to compete in the Midwestern Association of Graduate School’s (MAGS) annual 3MT® competition.

 

3MT® Timeline

Nominees must be current Purdue graduate students studying at the West Lafayette campus. Each nominee will be contacted by Graduate School staff and encouraged to register for the competition. Nominations are not required for students to submit a draft video; they are simply intended to help the Graduate School identify and encouraged talented students to participate.
