吃瓜tv

The idea behind TED is to help spread ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding, and drive meaningful change. In 2021, 吃瓜tv first turned to this platform for a partnership that seemed only natural for a university also focused on the emergence of new ideas out of discussion, exchange and debate. The result was the creation of a student-led TEDx吃瓜tv conference, the 鈥渪鈥� meaning 鈥渋ndependently organized.鈥�

The theme of this year鈥檚 conference, held on March 23, 2024 was 鈥淩esilience Redefined: Thriving in Times of Change.鈥� In a world where change is the only constant, resilience takes on a whole new meaning. The TEDx吃瓜tv 2024 gathered a diverse group of speakers to challenge our perspectives on what it means to be resilient. From personal stories of triumph over adversity to innovative strategies for facing an ever-evolving future, 鈥淩esilience Redefined鈥� offered a fresh lens through which to view the challenges we all encounter in life.听鈥淥rganizing the TEDx吃瓜tv event听was one of the most fulfilling and memorable experiences during my time at 吃瓜tv,鈥� said Leah Rebecca Nagpal, one the members of the student committee and this year鈥檚 Undergraduate Student Council President. 鈥淭he overwhelming response from attendees and the positive feedback we received underscored the impact of our hard work and demonstrated the university鈥檚 commitment to fostering a culture of intellectual curiosity and community engagement. The success of 听TEDx吃瓜tv exceeded all expectations.鈥�
