Interested in earning $5,000 for talking about your research? Then enter to compete in the 2016 Grad Slam.
Launched in 2013, the Grad Slam is an award-winning campus-wide competition for the best three-minute talk by a graduate student. Participants are judged on the basis of having a clear and effective presentation that is geared for a general university audience and has demonstrable intellectual significance. There are three rounds of competition -- preliminaries, semifinals, and finals -- and prizes are given at each stage of advancement. This year's competition is scheduled for April 4-15, and all entrants will receive a custom mug and tote bag, pictured below. The Graduate Division will award more than $15,000 total in cash and prizes! The winner of UCSB's Grad Slam will also advance to a UC-wide competition, scheduled for Friday, April 22, at LinkedIn's new state-of-the-art campus in San Francisco.
