Summary
What happens when Boston College students bring TED’s “ideas worth spreading” to the Heights? In this episode, host George Kaparis ’27 sits down with Colin Kesler ’27, a junior and core member of TEDxBostonCollege, to pull back the curtain on a student-run series that turns campus curiosity into polished talks. Colin walks us through the fall student-speaker competition, the spring professional conference, and the hands-on curation work that helps ideas grow from a spark to a stage-ready presentation. Along the way we hear how a talk on grief moved the team, why auditions and interviews matter, and exactly how you can apply, attend, or get involved. This is a show about ideas, community, and the confidence it takes to share your story.
