In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. NSU is proud to host the eighth annual TEDxNSU event – an engaging day of live presentations by fellow NSU students, faculty, staff, and alumni; along with TED videos, interactive exhibits, and discussion. TEDxNSU is co-organized by College of Psychology Associate Professors Leanne Boucher and W. Matthew Collins.
This year’s speakers include:
- Mansoor Choudhry, medical student in the Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine, “Transcending Language”
- Sarah Goltsman, undergraduate student in the Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences, “I Don’t Deserve to be Here Today”

Our theme this year is KNOWNS & UNKNOWNS. We’ll be exploring some ways in which knowledge – or the absence thereof – have shaped our speakers’ personal and professional lives.
