The Mona Library sustained its robust outreach and collaboration programmes in spite of the many challenges, by expanding services offered to our online clients, and such opportunities for this category of clientele resulted in an increase in uptake of services offered virtually. The UWI Three Minute Thesis Competition For the third consecutive year, the Mona Library in partnership with the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, successfully staged The UWI Three Minute Thesis Competition: The 75 th Anniversary Edition on June 20, 2023. The 3MT competition is an international competition which challenges research degree students to present a compelling story on their dissertation or thesis and its significance in just three minutes, in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. Three Campuses (Mona, Cave Hill and St Augustine) competed at The UWI Level for the coveted 3MT Trophy, cash awards and gift certificates. Emerging as winners were: • First Place – Alison Facey from the Faculty of Sport, Mona Campus. She received an award of JA$100,000.00 • Second Place – Gloria Haye from the Faculty of Education at the Cave Hill Campus. She received $70,000.00 • People’s Choice – Alison Facey from the Faculty of Sport, Mona Campus and she walked away with another $40,000.00 At the Mona Campus Level, four participants entered the competition and made riveting presentations for first and second places. Our loyal sponsors remain the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, and EBSCO Information Services. Thanks to Pramoneng Engineering Company who also offered sponsorship in 2023.
