华盛顿，宾夕法尼亚州(11月. 28)—Innovation, ideas and insight were the main focus at 华盛顿 & 杰斐逊学院(W&J) TOM Talks, held for the fifth time on Wednesday, Nov. 15.
灵感来自于 TED演讲, TOM Talks is a student-run discussion series hosted by the 华盛顿的家伙 scholars that allows students to present independent research. This year’s event, organized by 沟通的艺术 18届科尔·格列科少校和 历史 杰西卡·斯科贝尔，20岁, featured speakers Michelle Klein ’18, 乔纳森·卡德斯，18岁, 以及18岁的内森·雷平.
“澳门葡京博彩软件是一个校园社区. Many institutions bring in speakers from different backgrounds, and different areas of the world, and that’s great to hear that perspective, but there’s a lot of homegrown, 创新的思想, and people here that are doing really cool things that not everyone on campus knows about,科尔说。, who has been involved with TOM Talks from its inception four years ago. “This is their opportunity to talk about something that has influenced them or that they’ve looked at very closely and has changed the way they think and the way they act, 或者他们选择的职业道路. I think it’s important for our community to see what’s going on here with students.”
米歇尔, 心理学 major who plans to pursue a Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University in the fall, spoke on holistic medical care with her talk “Health From Within” while 业务 major Nathan explored the meaning of the word entrepreneur in his talk “Origin and Art of Entrepreneurship.” In his second TOM Talk following a presentation last year about the impact of a Greek Orthodox Archbishop on the Civil Right Movement, 历史 major Jonathan considered the relationship between the church and environmental science in his talk “The Green Patriarch: Bridging the Gap between Science and Religion.”
The students have enthusiasm for the subjects they discussed that informed the atmosphere of the event. Michelle recounted a moving story of a patient who thought all hope for recovery was lost before finding chiropractic care that healed her. Nathan shared some of his own 业务 ventures, like selling headphones with a philanthropic tie to donate 10 percent of proceeds to charities based on their colors, and Jonathan told his own story of meeting the Green Patriarch as an infant, showing his personal connection to the topic.
“One of the reasons I wanted to do this was to call attention to entrepreneurial studies as well as break the barrier that some people may have that prevent them from identifying as an entrepreneur,内森说. “It’s important for students to feel empowered in areas they feel strong in, and to convey that knowledge and passion to others.”
The wide range of subjects allowed the event to be engaging and informative on multiple levels.
“Every talk we are performing this year, and in years past, is different,” Jonathan said. “Having variety and diversity in the talks is critical for getting everyone talking about important issues. It may even inspire them to take up their own initiatives and want to explain something that they’re passionate about.”
