2025 Grad Slam Champion wins First Place at WAGS 3MT Competition!
We would like to extend our congratulations to Mourad Abdennebi, a 4th year PhD candidate in the Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT) program, on winning the Western Association of Graduate Schools 3-Minute Thesis competition held in Denver, Colorado last week as part of the annual WAGS conference. As the winner of the UA’s Grad Slam 2025, Mourad was chosen to represent the UA at the regional competition.
In addition to his presentation, Mourad also participated in his first poster session at WAGS where he had the opportunity to discuss his research into multisensory teaching methods and language learning.
Both the WAGS 3MT competition and Grad Slam require students to present their research in an engaging manner to a non-specialist audience in 3 minutes or less. Not an easy feat!
As winner of the WAGS 3MT, Mourad is eligible to present at the national Council of Graduate Schools 3MT in December 2025.
Congratulations, Mourad! 👏
