Dear Graduate Students,
Would you like to develop skills in public speaking, have a chance to communicate your research to a broad audience, and win up to $2000? Then be sure to sign up for this year's edition of Grad Slam! If you submit a three-minute video of your speech by February 17, you may be selected to participate in the campus-wide competition in April.
If you're nervous about recording your talk, then attend a GradPro recording session and we’ll take care of the filming! Visit this calendar page and sign up for an appointment slot!
After you do that, then read on for a whole host of other exciting opportunities for professional development!
