Dear Colleagues, The Graduate Division is thrilled to host the 8th Annual Grad SLAM, a competitive speaking event showcasing the impact of graduate student research. Grad SLAM presentations are 3-minute research impact talks with content designed to be accessible to a general audience. Grad SLAM is also a systemwide competition with campus finalists proceeding to a championship event where they compete with peers from our sister UC campuses. The 2021 systemwide Grad SLAM championship will proceed in a virtual format in spring. To prepare for competition Grad SLAM participants are invited to workshops on crafting their research story, creating engaging slides, and refining public speaking skills, as well as coaching sessions in preparation for competition. Please encourage graduate students in your areas to participate in this beneficial and exciting program! Hallmarks of the program are the educational workshops mentioned above as well as the written feedback participants receive from diverse panels of judges in the preliminary rounds. With this in mind, we hope you will consider serving as a Grad SLAM judge this year! The preliminary round will be virtual. Contestants will submit videos of their talks which will be available for review on February 22, 2021. Each judge will be assigned a number of videos to review and score. Because of our virtual format, this is a very flexible commitment. Judges will be able to view contestant videos as it fits their schedule with judge scoring due on Monday March 1, 2021. Ten finalists will be selected from the preliminary round to move on to the UC San Diego Grad SLAM final in early April 2021. All judges will be provided with basic training on the scoring rubric as well as best practices in public speaking and research communication. To serve as a judge please complete the Grad SLAM Judge Volunteer Form by February 12, 2021.
