Each year, the Western Association of Graduate Schools, in partnership with ProQuest, solicits nominations for STEM, Non-STEM, and Capstone projects, and Innovations in Technology, from various institutions as an opportunity to showcase graduate innovation and creativity. Four nominees can be put forward by our campus - one from each of the competition categories listed below. If the UCSB nominee is selected by the Western Association of Graduate Schools (WAGS) and ProQuest, they will receive $1,000 from WAGS, a Certificate of Award, and travel expenses to attend the WAGS Annual Conference and Awards luncheon held in March, 2025.
