Hello Ryerson Students!
With the fall semester underway, we are excited to announce that we will be holding the first TEDxRyersonU Auditions event in search for student speakers and performers (musicians, dancers, etc.)! Audition for a chance to become a student speaker among our incredible lineup of administration, faculty, and alumni speakers, or for a chance to perform at the Glenn Gould Studio in front of a large and diverse audience. TEDxRyersonU will be hosting 350 attendees from both the Ryerson and Toronto community on Sunday November 20th at the Glenn Gould Studio.
If you would like to become one of the few student speakers or performers (why not!), here’s how it works:
