TEDxUniversityofMississippi

Ideas worth spreading

What is TEDxUniversityofMississippi?

We are a group of student volunteers that create an event unlike any other. We share the wonder of Mississippi—it’s innovators, creators, and thinkers. We share ideas from outside Mississippi that can impact Mississippians in a positive way. Ultimately, we share an evening of curated Talks each year that spark conversation in our community and beyond. Our Talks are published on the nationally and internationally browsed TEDx Youtube channel, free of charge. We also provide access to the Talks on this website.
