On April 3, MIW Alumni, Madison Krumins, will present at the 16th annual TEDxUofM!

TEDxUofM is a university-wide initiative to galvanize the community for an event like no other, filled with inspiration, discovery, and excitement. Borrowing the template from the world-renowned TED conference, TEDxUofM aims to bring a TED-like experience to the University of Michigan. Our vision is to showcase the most fascinating thinkers and doers, the “leaders and best” in Michigan terms, for a stimulating day of presentations, discussions, entertainment, and art that will spark new ideas and opportunities across all disciplines.

"Join us on April 3rd for a captivating evening at TEDxUofM 2025: Rooted, hosted at the Power Center for the Performing Arts, featuring TED Talks, performances, and hands-on activities! All six speakers are UofM alumni, faculty, or students, and will be sharing unique insights inspired by the powerful influence of our roots. Doors open at 5:30 PM, show starts at 6:00."
