Over the past seven years\, we have provided students\, faculty\, staff\, and State College community members with a memorable\, interactive full-day TEDx conference full of enlightening talks on a wide breadth of topics. Our goal as an organization is two-fold. First\, we aim to showcase the best research\, ideas\, and values that Penn State students\, faculty\, and alumni have to offer our community and beyond. Secondly\, we bring in speakers from outside of our community to provide new perspectives on the world at large. Our reach extends to Penn State\, State College\, our Commonwealth campuses\, and across the United States and the globe. We pledge to continuously provide novel “ideas worth spreading” to all of these communities.\nAbout TEDx\, x = independently organized event\nIn the spirit of ideas worth spreading\, TEDx is a program of local\, self-organized events that bring people together to share a “TED like” experience. At a TEDx event\, TEDTalk videos and live speakers come together to spark deep discussion and connection in a group setting. These local\, self-organized events are branded TEDx\, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program\, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)\n\n\n\nBreaking past the status quo.\n\n\n\nRedefining progress.\n\nAdding new\, fresh perspectives.\n\nIncentivizing to improve and revolutionize the world.\n\n\nPenn State Hillel is proud to sponsor TEDxPSU.
