The TED story
Four Rowan University students proposed TEDx to me in Fall 2024; before that time, I had never considered it for our institution. These four students - Aiden Tahmazian, Sapjah Zapotitla, Ella Pennington, and Victora Van - are University Innovation Fellows, and they proposed it for their UIF project. Together, we (mostly them) did the legwork to obtain a TEDx license and plan our first event for April 2025. I'm forever grateful to these young people for spurring our University to deliver a TEDx Program!
