Sac State & CSU Grad Slam Competition

Sacramento State is hosting 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. Here's a video from 2023’s competition: https://youtu.be/5MYVr1Rg_08?si=mhL6DFv5QYxMjrcQ
