Eight Gevirtz School graduate students are taking part in the UC Santa Barbara’s Graduate Student Showcase Grad Slam. The students participating in the Grad Slam – a campus-wide competition for the best three-minute talk – are Rusha Al-Rawaf, Lois Harmon, Cynthia Harvey, Rafael Hernandez, Jasmin Llamas, Whitney O’Malley, Torrey Trust, and Yin Yu. Eighty-two graduate students representing 36 departments and programs are scheduled to compete. This is an opportunity for graduate students to tell the campus about their research or share their thoughts on big ideas that matter. Creative presentations are welcome but all talks must include a live oral presentation and between one and three PowerPoint slides. A full calendar of Graduate Student Showcase events is on-line.
