Student speakers sought for spring 2016 TEDxUMaine

Organizers of TEDxUMaine are seeking talented and passionate students to speak during the spring 2016 event.

The theme for this academic year’s TEDxUMaine conference is “Interconnectedness.” Interconnectedness is the worldview in which we see connections and relationships between different things. Interconnectedness can be found in all aspects of life including in nature, business, education, science, society, ecology and the environment.

Undergraduate speakers are encouraged to explore the new and innovative ways we are interconnected and to share those engaging ideas with other members of the UMaine community.

The deadline to submit a speaking proposal or nominate a speaker is Friday, Jan. 22. Applications are online.

For more information, visit the event’s website or Facebook page, or email TEDxUMaine@umit.maine.edu.
