TEDxSMU Inside SMU 2015
On Friday, April 17, 2015, the TEDxSMU team partnered with SMU’s Office of Development and External Affairs to present the second annual Inside SMU powered by TEDxSMU during Founder’s Day Weekend!
Founders’ Day is an annual celebration of the founding of SMU and the spirit of the University. The cornerstone of the day is Inside SMU, an open house that highlights all the best and brightest ideas across campus. The afternoon was hosted by SMU students Ashmi Patel and Richmond Dewan. Subjects ranged from social media, wind power, free speech, philanthropy and cornbread. We would like to thank all of our speakers for sharing their brilliant ideas.
