The Office of Student Research and Student Showcase Organizing Committee is happy to announce the recipients of the 3 Minute Presentation Best Student Presentation Awards for the Fall 2025 Student Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry.
The 3MP (Three Minute Presentation) competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by students at Longwood University. This competition cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and communication skills through a highly polished and practiced three-minute oral presentation. 3MP presenters are allowed to have one slide and presentations need to be appropriate to non-expert audiences so anyone can understand the potential impact of their research.
First Place: Gabrielle Quaresma (Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences)
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Amanda Starr
