English major and “slam poet” Alex Dang performed during the 2014 TEDxUOregon, an event modeled on the global movement of TED talks or “ideas worth spreading.”

The event showcased electric presentations by faculty and students—many of them from CAS — on the theme, “Intersections: Diversity is Critical to Creativity.”

Modeled on the global movement of TED talks or “ideas worth spreading,” the conference “celebrated the diverse nature of our campus and captured the innovative and creative nature of the Pacific Northwest,” said Rita Radostitz, event coordinator.
