INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Apply to attend TEDxFSU 2015! TEDxFSU is now in its fifth cycle. This year’s theme is Against the Current. The ocean currents are one of the most powerful forces of nature on our planet. It has the power to alter our experience as a species on Earth dramatically. Moving against this current is in essence shifting a paradigm. A current can be in society as well as a social norm or societal habits. Moving against these changes status quo and allows people to be different, think different, and change the world. TEDxFSU is looking for individuals from a wide-range of experiences and perspectives to be part of this year’s TEDxFSU community. Students, faculty, staff, and community members are encouraged to apply. TEDxFSU will take place on Friday, March 20 in the FSU Turnbull Center from 1:00pm to 6:00pm. There is no cost to attend TEDxFSU. The deadline to apply is February 27. To apply, visit thecenter.fsu.edu/Programs/TEDxFSU.
