In the fall of 2012, two students and an alumnus of the University of Colorado Boulder sought to createÌýan evening of thought-provoking talks that wouldÌýserve as a connecting platform for the ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä and theÌýcommunity of Boulder—both of which are thought leaders within their respective arenas and have a lot to offer one another.

Today, TEDx¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä is a collaborative student organization between the College of Media, Communication and Information and the Leeds School of Business scholars program.

The event, which is completelyÌýorganized by current and former ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä students, has now had threeÌýsuccessful runs. TEDx¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉäÌýlooks to build a long-standing tradition that organizers, studentsÌýand the surrounding community can look forward to each spring.
