After two successful TEDxLSU events, the third annual TEDxLSU will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2015. The popular event, championed by LSU’s Communication across the Curriculum, will return to LSU’s campus in the Claude L. Shaver Theatre in the College of Music and Dramatic Arts from 1-5 p.m.

10922623_700591326725269_3984123567177921021_nThe theme for the 2015 event is connect, so Talks will focus on dynamic social, civic and commercial efforts. Twelve visionary and innovative thinkers from the area will give the “talk of their life” to ultimately show our connections to the world around us.  From students to a musician to a trivia guru to a nationally renowned chef, TEDxLSU will showcase a diverse group of connectors who are making our community a better place.

One of our very own Distinguished Communicator candidates, Kurt Ristroph, was selected as a student speaker. Kurt, a junior studying engineering and classics, was the sole recipient of the 2014 Roger Hadfield Ogden Leadership Fellowship. The fellowship supports students’ projects to benefit the state of Louisiana. Kurt’s mission is to connect Louisiana’s youth to the resources the East Baton Rouge Parish libraries provide.

Tickets are on sale now and LSU students and faculty can access a special discounted rate until Friday, February 13, 2015. Check out the website, www.tedxlsu.com, to learn more about the speakers and to purchase your ticket.
