Announcements
2025 CSU Grad Slam Competition
Following up on last year’s successful event, the 5th annual CSU Grad Slam will take place May 9, 2025, hosted in virtual format by California State University San Bernardino. Grad Slam is a fast-paced and exciting event in which graduate students present their research, scholarship, and creativity in no more than three minutes, using just one slide. Grad Slam participants gain valuable experience delivering a professional presentation and competing for cash prizes and statewide notoriety.
The CSU Grad Slam aligns with Three Minute Presentation competitions that have become a staple of the university graduate student experience to promote and exhibit graduate student research and scholarly activities across more than 200 universities worldwide. First initiated in 2008, this approach to developing the skills to describe the research and scholarly activities to a general audience has grown to provide an accessible way to display and celebrate the variety and complexity of graduate student scholarship on these campuses.
The top two winners from individual CSU campus competitions from over 20 campuses will deliver their presentations in front of panels of judges.
