Education has often been a problem sought to be solved by experienced policymakers (and unfortunately often to no avail). This is not the case with the University's Philosophy student Libby Ashton. Ms. Ashton is the Founder and President of rEDesign, a grassroots initiative to bring equal opportunities to the students of America's public education system.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
