Sustainability presentations sought for TEDx

Grand Valley State University's Sustainable Community Development Initiative is seeking  faculty, staff, students, and community members to present on topics related to sustainability as part of a TEDx event on October 26.

TEDx events are independently-organized events based on the unique TED model of a series of short talks (18 minutes or less) by thinkers and doers from different disciplines, followed by periodic breaks to facilitate conversation among presenters and attendees. This fall Grand Valley will join the hundreds of other universities and organizations from around the world who have hosted TEDx events. The theme of Grand Valley's event will be "Sustainability-a GRAND tradition."

TEDx Grand Valley will be on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 in the Cook-DeWitt Center. All presentations will be recorded and posted on the TEDx YouTube channel.

Visit www.gvsu.edu/tedx to submit an application to present. Applications are being accepted through Friday, May 14. For more information contact Emily Martin at [email protected].
