Carole & Jim Young Fellows

The Carole & Jim Young Fellows is a program to involve outstanding SMU students with TEDxSMU. Carole and Jim are long-time TEDsters, parents of two SMU alumni, and incredible civic leaders in Dallas. This program is a tribute to their contributions to the TED community, the SMU community and the Dallas community, and has been made possible thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor.

The Carole & Jim Young Fellows represent the most interesting SMU students. This fall, current SMU students may apply through September 10th to be considered as a Young Fellow. We will select up to two students from each of the seven academic colleges at SMU. These students will participate in TEDxKids @SMU on November 30, TEDxSMU on December 1, and ongoing programming throughout the 2012-2013 academic year. We will announce the 2012-2013 Class on September 14.
