In the fall of 2012, two students and an alumnus of the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ sought to createÌýan evening of thought-provoking talks that wouldÌýserve as a connecting platform for the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØand theÌýcommunity of Boulder—both of which are thought leaders within their respective arenas and have a lot to offer one another.
Today, TEDxÂ鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØis a collaborative student organization between the College of Media, Communication and Information and the Leeds School of Business scholars program.
The event, which is completelyÌýorganized by current and former Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØstudents, has now had threeÌýsuccessful runs. TEDxCUÌýlooks to build a long-standing tradition that organizers, studentsÌýand the surrounding community can look forward to each spring.
