Powerful Voices, Bold Ideas | Urban U
From addiction to marathon recovery… and how to write a personal essay—this year’s TEDx CUNY showcases powerful ideas from the student-run stage. At York College, one philosophy professor is rethinking the way the subject is taught—bringing in thinkers of color and voices often left out of the school curriculum. We meet a Queens College grad whose opera career is hitting high notes around the world. That and more, including our Student Works series with the story of Jenny’s Garden, a short piece from the journalism class at City College.
