TEDxTrousdale

What is TEDxTrousdale? TEDxTrousdale is the premiere TED licensed event at the University of Southern California. TEDxTrousdale serves to quench the curiosities and expand the interests of all USC students. Regardless of major, age or background, we intend to enable all students to become aware of what their peers have to share and offer, in terms of experience, insight and advice. On Saturday, April 16th, one hundred Trojans will come together for four hours to listen to USC students share their passions, projects and experiences with their peers. TEDxTrousdale hopes to build a sense of community across campus to share interdisciplinary knowledge and showcase the talents of our student leaders. We hope this event will start a dialogue between all speakers and attendees, connecting varying communities under a single vision. Why “Trousdale”? Trousdale is more than just a main street that stretches from one end of USC’s campus to the other; it is also a place and resource for students to learn, share and grow. Trousdale is traditionally used as a place for student organizations to congregate and promote their causes. Its prime location in the heart of campus makes it a frequent home to the University-wide involvement fair, multiple career fairs and USG election campaigning, amongst others. It is the street that all students, one way or another, find themselves on, but most importantly, it is the street that brings the USC community together. Why "Make Your Mark"? USC students are constantly striving to create impact and make a difference in their communities. This year at TEDxTrousdale 2016, we wanted to showcase USC students who truly embody this quality and give them the opportunity to share their take on what it means to "make your mark" on the world.
