Christopher Eisgruber is the 20th and current president of Princeton University. In this video, he talks about the value of interpersonal connections in education, and how they cannot be replaced by online methods, no matter how advanced they become.

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)
