TEDxUWLaCrosse event: 'The story I tell myself'

Inspiring talks set to illuminate the stage Oct. 10

Join us for the next TEDxUW-La Crosse event! The fall 2024 event will feature campus and community speakers "sharing ideas worth spreading" around the theme "The story I tell myself." 

UW-La Crosse started organizing independently-coordinated TEDx events on campus in 2013, amplifying inspiring, thoughtful and motivating messages from the campus and surrounding community.

Entrance is free but seats must be reserved ahead of time online. Learn more on the TEDxUW-LaCrosse website.

This year’s theme, "The Story I Tell Myself," invites attendees to explore the inner narratives that shape our lives. The event will feature three powerful speakers, each sharing their personal journeys and insights on overcoming adversity, fostering global solidarity, and transforming individual and collective stories.

Speakers and topics include:

Exploring Self-Love by Embracing Interdependence
Andrew Ives, Ed.D., director of the UWL ACCESS Center

Rewrite Your Broken Story
Carolyn Colleen Bostrack, Ph.D., Author, Entrepreneur, Humanitarian.

Woman, Life, Freedom: Redefining Social Justice in a Globalized World
Sona Kazemi, assistant professor, Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies, UWL

What is TEDx?

Many are familiar with TED Talks. TEDx events are independently coordinated to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.

Previous TEDxUW-La Crosse event videos have, at times been shared on the larger TED platform and gathered hundreds of thousands of views. See Tesia Marshik's video on learning styles and Ryan McKelly's video on unmasking masculinity.
