Curiosity. Imagination. Every idea requires a spark, and it only takes one stroke of inspiration to gain the traction to unite communities and power change. That’s the theme behind this year’s locally and independently organized TED event presented by UGA, which features a selected group of staff, alumni and students sharing their stories. Audience members come from different locations and backgrounds to foster an atmosphere of creativity and inspiration. Presenters include: Grace Ahn, director of the Games and Virtual Environments Lab; Marques Dexter, interim director of the Georgia African American Male Experience program; Charlie Mustard, longtime head roaster at Jittery Joe’s; and more. Registration is open to students and non-students, including a virtual viewing option livestreaming the event.
