TEDxWesleyanU

TEDxWesleyanU strives to connect the bold ideas of Wesleyan University and the surrounding community. Wesleyan University is considered an elite liberal arts school in Middletown, CT with alumni leading all industries from theater (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Creator of Hamilton) to government (Senator Michael Bennet, Senator of Colorado) to sports (Bill Bellicheck, New England Patriots Coach). Levering the creative ideas of these Wesleyan connected individuals and the creative minds of the Wesleyan community, it makes for a unique TEDx experience. TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event, is a program created by TED to bring communities together by sharing TED-like experiences locally. At a TEDx event, hand-picked live speakers combine with TED Talk videos to spark deep discussions and human connection. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized and subject to certain rules and regulations.
