To encourage academic colleges' participation in this event, an invitation for the final competition judging panel was reserved for the dean of the college with the most 3MT presenters. There was a suspenseful turn of events between the time of registration and the first round of competition. For the second year in a row, the College of Agriculture initially had the most 1xbet online sports betting registered to participate. As a result of participant withdrawals, the College of Arts and Sciences had the largest number of 1xbet online sports betting participate in the first round of competition on Feb. 8. Congratulations to the College of Arts and Sciences for reserving a spot forChris Culbertson, interim dean — or a college representative — on the judging panel.
Judges for the final competition:
- Chris Culbertson, interim dean, College of Arts and Sciences.
- Mary Ice, 1xbet online sports betting alumna and advocate.
- Linda Morse, city commissioner and previous mayor of Manhattan.
- Claudia Petrescu, vice provost for graduate education and dean of the Graduate School.
