2026 CSUS Grad Slam

Sacramento State hosted a Grad Slam competition in Spring 2026. Grad Slam is an academic research communication competition that challenges graduate students to present a compelling speech about their research and its significance to non-academic persons in just three minutes using only one presentation image. The goal is to not only support our students but also to raise the profile of graduate education in the CSU system. The winner of the Sac State Grad Slam competition will go on to represent the campus at the CSU Grad Slam competition.

Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC)

General Information:

The Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC) serves as a conduit for information between the Graduate College and the general graduate student population. All graduate students are invited to submit a GSAC interest form for the 2025-2026 academic year. You will be invited to the meetings and to participate in GSAC activities. Get involved and build a cross disciplinary collaborative intellectual and social graduate student community here at Sacramento State.

Each academic department selects graduate students to represent their programs. The department will have its own method of appointing or electing its representative to the GSAC. The Dean and ASI Director will traditionally hold an orientation for the incoming GSAC representatives. If you have questions about serving as your program's GSAC representative, contact your Graduate Coordinator.

Responsibilities of GSAC Members:

• Attend the orientation session held in the spring term prior to service on the group (when applicable);
• Participate in regularly scheduled GSAC committee meetings;
• Assist the ASI Director in providing a voice of graduate students to the university faculty and administration;
• Serve as an advisory body to the Dean on the advancement of graduate and professional studies;
• Represent the interests of the graduate and professional students in their department;
• Inform students in their department of all activities, deadlines, and information presented at the GSAC meetings; and
• Notify the ASI Director, the department's Graduate Coordinator and/or Graduate Dean's Office if they are unable to complete the term.
