The Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA) and UCSB Library invite you to join us for an exhilarating event celebrating knowledge, innovation, and the art of effective communication. Hear students from diverse disciplines condense their research, insights, and enthusiasm into a three-minute presentation that captivates, enlightens, and leaves a lasting impact.

Community members, students, faculty, and staff are not just spectators; they're essential participants in this event. Join us to cheer on the courageous contestants who have embraced the challenge to share their research stories with the world. Your support and engagement contribute to the vibrant atmosphere of the Slam and motivate these budding scholars to shine on stage.

As the finalists take the stage, they'll not only vie for the title of Slam Champion but also the chance to win cash prizes. A jury of esteemed community members will select the top three presentations.
