Hi Joel,
Hope all is well. I am speaking at this CUNY TEDx, and I just received this email regarding "auditions" for two student speakers. Thought I'd pass along in case there are any students in History Dept that might fit the bill!
Let me know if you need more info...
Best,
Sophia

TEDxCUNY will be the first public university TEDx conference in New York City, and the TEDx university conference representing the highest number of students in the country. This November, nearly a year and a half of hard work will come to fruition. We’re very excited to share CUNY’s varied and brilliant ideas with the world.
