A dual focus will on that students leave with the knowledge of resources on campus, to learn, experiment, pursue and spin out after the presentation. Standard Symposium offers the perfect time to host this event. Is an all-day event to celebrate graduate and undergraduate academic achievements, in addition all course are canceled so that students can engage in any number of events that fit their interest.</span></span>

Students need to have an awakening of the resources available to them currently and in the future. Hosting a TEDx event that feature successful innovators and entrepreneur will give students a confidence in themselves to pursue their own ideas.</span></span></span>
