TEDxUConn is an annual, independently organized TED event at the University of Connecticut. Organized entirely by students, the event is held annually at the University of Connecticut as an initiative to spark discussion and bring light to next-generation ideas in the UConn community and beyond. Curation highlights not only the work of faculty and friends of the University, but also features talks by the exceptional students. The goal of TEDxUConn is to not just be a chance to share and hear great ideas, but to be opportunity to make those ideas come to life: both growing from and in return enriching the UConn Community at large.
