Big Pitch Final

    Friday, February 27, 2026 at 12:00 PM until 1:00 PMPacific Standard Time UTC -08:00

    The Big Pitch format is simple but challenging. Participants have 3 minutes and a single PowerPoint slide to argue for the significance of their research, project, or art. This lends itself to business projects and artist statements as well as research work in the Humanities and Sciences. The Big Pitch, CGU’s 3-Minute Thesis Competition, is open to all CGU students at any stage of their academic progress. With an audience of students, staff, alumni, community members, and faculty, presentations are meant to be concise and accessible—they tell a story, use humor, and highlight the significance of student work instead of only focusing on complex details. Through this unique event, attendees learn about exciting research from across the university, and competitors develop their communication skills and compete for prizes!

    This is an online event but please join us for an in-person watch party! We will have food and drinks available!
