TEDxDePaulUniversity is independently organized through a license provided by TED, the idea-generating nonprofit organization. Now in its sixth year, the DePaul event unites our community for idea-driven programming and promotes our faculty, staff, student and alumni thought leaders through the world-famous TEDx platform. This year’s theme, “Metamorphosis” seeks to inspire speakers and audiences to reflect on the process of transformation from one actuality to another. Whether it’s a personal internal change or the evolution of an entire community, metamorphosis captures humanity’s commitment to progressive improvement.
