What if one talk could change the way you see the world?

That's the idea behind TEDxTAMU and the events they organize at Texas A&M— and in this episode of On Air with Student Affairs, host Elizabeth Drake sits down with the student leaders running one of the most unique student-led conferences on campus. 

Meet Shail Pateder (Executive Director), Hitansh Mendiratta (Director of Operations), and Logan Baker (Director of Marketing) — a few of the students behind TEDxTAMU, an independently organized TED event bringing world-class ideas and local voices to the Bryan-College Station community.

They pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to bring ideas worth spreading to life: curating speakers, building a community, and creating moments that give you chills. 

From talks on optimism and resilience to this year's theme of "finding meaning in the chaos," these student leaders share how the ideas they've encountered through TEDxTAMU have changed the way they think, approach challenges, and show up in their own lives, and why you won't want to miss what's coming to the stage on March 29th.
