Theme: Impact. Unlimited.

As scholars, students and community members we all recognize that no matter our role we have a tremendous impact on those around us. Marylhurst University is hosting a TEDx event to highlight a few of those in our institution and community that have made an impact in education, their field of study and the people around them.

Our speakers' topics can be previewed at marylhurst.edu/tedx and at blog.marylhurst.edu.
