SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:TEDxUofM 2025: Rooted
DESCRIPTION:The phrase “return to your roots” has always meant taking inspiration from the people\, ideas and values we grew up with. However\, sometimes we find ourselves uprooting our lives into new\, healthier communities. Whether drawing from your past or separating from it\, both pathways are equally valid as a source of personal strength and a celebration of one's roots. At TEDxUofM 2025: Rooted\, six renowned University of Michigan alumni will give world-class TED talk presentations on what their roots mean to them and where those roots lie today. Get your tickets now for our conference on Thursday\, April 3rd\, from 6:00-9:00 PM at the Power Center for Performing Arts (doors open at 5:30).\n\nOur six speakers and talks are as follows:\nTifani Sadek: \"Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable\"\nKunal Majumder: \"Press Freedom: The Root of Every Right\"\nChris Vrenna: \"The Roots Within Yourself: Inner Strength\"\nJoshua Ong: \"Spaceflight to Eyesight\"\nHakem Al-Rustom: \"Uprooted: Exile as a Mode of Being\"\nMadison Krumins: \"Home as a Snail Vine\"
