Did you know that the Tufts Idea Exchange (TEX) team sets up TEX every spring here at Tufts?  If you’re interested, check out the message below and contact their team. This could be a great opportunity for us to share what we do with the broader Tufts community!

TEX is a TED-style forum for ideas where speakers share an idea that ignited their passions. Recognized as 2012’s Program of the Year by the Office of Campus Life, TEX provides a unique opportunity for Tufts students, faculty, staff, and alumni to explore ideas.

We have just opened applications for TEX this semester and we are looking for student speakers. Our mission is to create a forum for the Tufts community to exchange ideas that promote creative and constructive thought and action. We want to make sure to make this event is inclusive of all the diverse and fascinating disciplines on campus!

This is a great opportunity for a student to share their ideas with the broader community and gain experience in public speaking. Please let us know of any students that come to mind or if you prefer, you can also nominate students on our website:http://www.tuftsideaexchange.com/apply.html .
