Calling all UConn Students!
We would like to invite you to apply to speak at TEDxUConn’s Fall 2021 Salon Conference: Courage to Persist. The tentative date is Sunday, September 26th 2021. and. Every year our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme for this event is Courage to Persist.
Failure in our society is all too common. However, if failure is so prevalent, what encourages people to try again – to start a new business, to rebuild and re-launch a rocket, or to draft a new book – and succeed? Particularly during this time, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have lost hope and motivation as we become more and more uncertain about the future. What can we do, what stories can we tell, what lessons can we teach to inspire others to have the Courage to Persist?
