Last school year, Rohan Walawalkar, currently a junior majoring in pre-med anthropology, founded TEDxTrinityUniversity, as a way to keep Trinity students interested in learning broader knowledge.
“Often what I see happening is that people come in excited during their first semester,” Walawalkar said. "But as the semester goes on, they start losing sight of the bigger picture.” TEDxTrinityUniveristy thus became one of the many international branches of TEDx talks.
TEDx is an offshoot of TED Conferences, the famous media organization that hosts various speeches covering a variety of topics, including science, politics, culture, and art. Unlike TED Conferences, TEDx events are hosted independently by anyone who applies for a license and agrees to follow certain guidelines.
