TEDxGeorgetown will hold its third official event, sponsored by the Georgetown University Lecture Fund, on Oct. 26. The theme of the event is changemakers.
Held in Gaston Hall, Saturday’s event will comprise three main sessions. Georgetown University President John DeGioia will host the first session on Global Human Development.
The planning for this fall’s event has changed since last year and now features an advisory board in charge of selecting the speakers and reaching out to the different schools at Georgetown.
This year’s line-up of speakers includes mostly Georgetown professors and students, representing a change from previous years, which saw more external speakers.
“We’re trying to make this unique to Georgetown, this TEDx event,” said Jamie Sharp (COL ‘15), chair of TEDxGeorgetown. “We have some quite amazing distinguished people in the Georgetown community, so why not give them a chance to share their story?”
