Speakers Join From Across the Country for TEDxGeorgiaTech Sustainability Salon

On Friday, April 16, TEDxGeorgiaTech (TEDxGT) invited five speakers from across the country to share their insight and ideas for their Sustainability Salon. TEDxGT is a student-run organization led by a group of innovative, enthusiastic, technologically-minded individuals striving to help the Georgia Tech community embrace “ideas worth spreading.” As TEDxGT’s venue and technology partner, Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club helped bring this event online so it could be livestreamed and allow for people across the country to tune in from the comfort of their homes.

Based on their theme, Embark, which encompasses taking everything the past year has taught them and using that to move forward on a new journey, TEDxGT hosted five admirable speakers to discuss everything from environmental to healthcare to social sustainability:

Dr. Curtis D. Jasper

Rachel Raisin

Harris Jamal

Alexandra Rodriguez Dalmau

Harshita Yepuri
