In fall 2011, the Voices of Innovation seminar series is being transformed into two TED chats (gatherings to watch and discuss TED videos) and the 2011 TEDxPSU Watch Party.  Mark these dates on your calendar and plan to attend!  We promise you will be inspired and engage in riveting conversations while experiencing the power of ideas presented as TED.

The campus fall TED conversation series is being brought to you by the Penn State Brandywine Honors Program, IST Department, and Laboratory for Civic Engagement.  Committee members:  Laura Guertin (Earth Science), Nannette D'Imperio (IST), Jennifer Santangelo (senior, English major), Sara Neville (senior, Bachelor of Philosophy major).

All are invited, from campus students, faculty, and staff, to alumni and community members.  Additional details about the full-day Watch Party will be announced as soon as the details are finalized at University Park.
