Grad Slam
Mar 13, 2026 3:00 PM | Organization: Graduate Studies & Research (OGSR) The Annual Grad Slam is a campus-wide competition where both undergraduate and graduate students present their research and scholarly work in a concise and engaging manner to a non-specialist audience. It challenges participants to distill complex ideas into clear and compelling presentations within a short time frame. Grad Slam is not a research competition but a research communication competition. The goal is to effectively communicate the significance and impact of their research in a way that is accessible and engaging to a wide audience. We are pleased to welcome Lilly Research Laboratories as a returning sponsor of the 2026 Grad Slam!
Stories From Home
Mar 13, 2026 7:00 PM | Organization: Arts & Lectures Get your ticket here! “Stories From Home” is a series of dances embodying the oral traditions of Nuevomexicano, Chicano and Mexican American communities in the American Southwest. Choreographer Yvonne Montoya and a diverse cast of dancers draw upon personal histories as well as stories of ancestral knowledge. “Stories From Home” is a vessel for personal and specific tales, while also offering a broader look at various cultural traditions throughout the Southwest. The work addresses themes such as the Bracero Program, the creation of the atomic bomb in Northern New Mexico and illness related to U.S. government projects, the loss of language because of 1940s Americanization programs, the experience of the Sephardim people during and after the Spanish Inquisition, family, love and querencia.
