TEDxBergenCountyAcademies
On the evening of Sunday, September 14th, an exciting TEDxBergenCountyAcademies event will be taking place at Fairleigh Dickinson University. It features a curated lineup of seven accomplished speakers, a combination of bright young minds from the Bergen County Academies, NJ’s #1 high school as well as guest star industry professionals.
From the way we learn to the paths we take, choices shape every part of our lives. Which is why on this day, the theme for discussion and enlightenment is “The Psychology of Choices”, where the aforementioned speakers share stories and unique perspectives driving from personal experience and analysis.
Moreover, this event isn’t just about one night of inspiration. All proceeds go to Expressive Evolution, a student-led nonprofit that provides free public speaking and communication programs for underserved students in the US and globally. By attending, you’re not only supporting our student speakers, but you’re also helping give other young people the chance to find and share their voices too.
