In 2016, the Graduate Division awarded more than $15,000 total in cash and prizes at the Grad Slam competition, and all entrants received a custom mug and tote bag. The final round of the Grad Slam was held on Friday, April 15, from 3-4 p.m. in Corwin Pavilion. The winner of UCSB’s Grad Slam advanced to a UC-wide competition on Friday, April 22, held at LinkedIn’s state-of-the-art campus in San Francisco.
