StarTalks

StarTalks is an annual event held in May during Professional Activity Days. It is modeled on the popular TED (Technology, Education, and Design) Talks, which are based on the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world.

Each year, three individuals from the college community will be chosen to give a 15-minute Star Talk on his or her topic of interest based on the TED model.

StarTalks will be held in May during Professional Activity Days in Dart Auditorium. Each talk will be recorded and shared with the campus community.
