The CU Anschutz Graduate School convocation is a separate ceremony held immediately after the main campus commencement. Unlike the main commencement where graduates from all schools and colleges participate, the Graduate School convocation is a private event held specifically to honor graduates from the Graduate School masters and doctoral programs.

3 Minute Thesis™
Inspired by the 3 Minute Thesis at the University of Queensland, the Graduate School’s 3-Minute Thesis is a competition held once a year in the fall. Doctoral students from all disciplines take turns presenting their thesis and/or research in 3 minutes using only 1 PowerPoint slide. Presenters are judged by a panel and are scored based on their ability to articulate their material in lay terms. The winner of the university-wide 3MT competition competes at the annual meeting of the Western Association of Graduate Schools. Cash prizes are awarded to the winners.
