What is TEDxRutgers? TEDxRutgers is a nonprofit student organization dedicated to empowering individuals through ideas. It holds the only license at Rutgers University to host TEDx events and conferences. Founded in 2011 by students, it aims to foster an environment for spreading ideas, with live speakers and TEDTalks videos, serving as a means to inspire deep discussions and connections between individuals with various backgrounds. It also hopes to challenge its community to think critically and be motivated to make a positive impact on our world. What is TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxRutgers, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxRutgers event, TEDTalks video and live speakers wiWe'rell combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
