Congratulations to Gabriela Hernandez (MSED PhD student) on being named a Grad SLAM 2025 Finalist! 

Out of 61 graduate students who entered this year’s competition, only 10 were selected as Finalists—and Gabriela’s outstanding research presentation earned her a spot among them!

UC San Diego’s Grad SLAM is a UC-wide competition that challenges grad students to communicate the significance of their research in just three minutes, using language accessible to a general audience. It’s all about sharpening public speaking skills, showcasing cutting-edge research, and celebrating the power of clear and compelling communication.

We’re so proud of Gabriela for representing our MSED community with excellence!
