In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

This event will explore what the specific barriers first-generation college students face, and how all students, first-generation or not, may experience these types of struggles. Problems and potential solutions will be presented in the talk, and then attendees will be tasked to create their own solutions in groups. They will then be asked to reflect on what they learned and to share their thoughts with others.
