SLAT PhD Candidate gives speech at United Nations General Assembly Reception

SLAT is pleased to share that 4th-year SLAT PhD Candidate, Mourad Abdennebi, was asked to give a speech at the United Nations General Assembly reception in September 2024. The reception was hosted by NGO CorpsAfrica, which Mourad has volunteered for in the past. Mourad's speech focused on how volunteering service helped him find his passion for language teaching and learning, and led him to pursue his PhD in SLAT. While at the reception, Mourad was able to meet with the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, and the former President of Liberia, Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. 

Congratulations on this achievement and honor, Mourad!
