Portland Community College students are organizing the TEDxPCC 2018, a “Collective Genius” event from 6-9 p.m., Thursday, April 19, in the Performing Arts Center, Sylvania Campus.
The purpose of this transformative event is to provide a forum for individuals for an open academic discourse of new ideas, innovations, or questions. The overall goal of this event is to create a venue, “where students can use their voices as a positive step towards a sense of unity and solidarity.”
The slate of speakers range from high school and college students to educators. For more on who is peaking, visit the TEDx website.
