Grad Research Slam
Launched in 2013, Grad Slam is an award-winning campus-wide competition for the best three-minute talk by a graduate student. Students present the central points of their project in a clear, direct, and interesting manner for a diverse audience comprised of students, faculty, and community members. 

Undergraduate Research Symposium
The undergraduate research symposium seeks to help students prepare to present their work in academic settings. Students apply to participate and select whether they will deliver oral presentations, poster presentations, presentations on work in progress or completed research, as well as presentations on creative activities.

Science to Policy Program
Science to Policy seeks to train graduate students in the sciences to communicate their expertise to policy makers. A key mission is to prioritize communication of complex, technical information beyond the walls of students’ individual disciplines to maximize the reach and impact of the work.

Academic Preparation, Recruitment, and Outreach (APRO)
APRO is dedicated to serving California students in reaching their goal of educational achievement. Communicating across disciplines and programs is central to their mission.
