Nina Williams rehearses her presentation on the TEDxֱ stage.

Professional climber and development coach Nina Williams (Comm’21) rehearses on the TEDxֱ mainstage. She will be presenting on April 11.

Each year, a student-centered team partners with the College of Media, Communication and Information and the Department of Communication to organize an independent TED event, where ֱ faculty, students and staff present alongside entrepreneurs, local characters and others from outside the ֱ system. This year, the event is named “Bounce” and will be held virtually. The speakers will consider how humans rebound, ricochet and react.

“In life, we bounce back from hard times and into good ones. We bounce to and from new experiences and remember the old. We use the bounces of our life to tell our stories,” states the TEDxֱ website.

This year’s conference, featuring nine speakers, will be held on April 11.
