THE STORY
What was once merely an idea in August 2021 from a former GSW MBA student from California, has now come to life through the help and inspiration of his former MBA Professor and GSW’s Provost. They agreed hosting a TEDx event was a great way to connect online MBA students with on-campus faculty, staff and students in a meaningful way while shining a light on the Americus community at the same time.
Relive the 2023 Event.
Georgia Southwestern’s second TEDx experience was held on Friday, October 20th, 2023 in the Magnolia Manor Nursing Auditorium. Students, staff, and community speakers expressed some of their most personal stories amongst the crowd. Each story unique and inspiring, fostered an atmosphere of perspective and growth through “Leaving Your Mark.”
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 TEDxGeorgiaSouthwesternU, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxGeorgiaSouthwesternU event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will 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. Learn more about TEDx.
