Professional climber and development coach Nina Williams (Comm鈥21) rehearses on the TEDxSM调教所 mainstage. She will be presenting on April 11.

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

鈥淚n 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,鈥 states the TEDxSM调教所 website.

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