TO THE EDITOR:
This Saturday, Carolina Creates will host the first annual TEDxUNC conference from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Due to high student demand, we are organizing a series of viewing parties across campus for students wishing to watch, discuss and enjoy the event with their peers. TEDxUNC will provide student hosts with discussion materials, speaker biographies and additional resources to help enhance the viewing experience.
The theme of the conference is “creation through connection.” In this spirit, the event will feature accomplished speakers Dennis Whittle, founder of Global Giving; Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author; Alan Murray, executive editor online of The Wall Street Journal; Shamila Kohestani, ESPY award winner and captain of the first Afghanistan women’s national soccer team; and Victoria Hale, founder of The Institute for OneWorld Health, among many others.
If you are interested in hosting a viewing party, please email tedxunc@gmail.com by Thursday. For more information on TEDxUNC, including a complete schedule of events, please visit our website at www.tedxunc.com.
