TEDx Nebraska Wesleyan University
A Community of ’eXcellence’
True excellence is not achieved in isolation. It is through collective effort, shared values, and a commitment to lifting one another high that excellence is achieved. Excellence is reflective of the power of collaboration, innovation, and integrity across the fields – from education to entrepreneurship, to science, art, and social impact. We invite speakers and attendees alike to explore how this community can strive for excellence. Together, we can create lasting change, inspire growth, and build a brighter, more inclusive future.
We invite you to celebrate a community of excellence with us. Connect with other purpose-driven individuals and work towards something greater at this first-of-its-kind event at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Join us, and enjoy true eXcellence.
