TEDxWVU 2018 Theme - Leading with Hope in a Changing World "The American dream has always been global. This idea of the American dream has enticed millions of people from all over the world to travel to America in search of prosperity and opportunity. But in this ever-changing landscape, many are questioning if the American dream even exists. We believe it does, it just means we need to rethink our homes, suburbs, and communities. In this series of TEDx talks, the American dream isn't lost, it's just being redefined." TEDxWVU's mission is to inspire people to take action with their passions and pursue their dreams. At TEDxWVU, inspirational and innovative thinkers from around the world engage with West Virginia University students, alumni, and faculty, to exchange ideas and inspire action.
