  • Helping the Unseen USF Researchers Help Protect Those Hidden in Plain Sight Or Lost in a Crowd Tedxusf Inspires Ideas Worth Spreading
    THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE of the USF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SUMMER 2017 UNIVERSITY of SOUTH FLORIDA System Helping the Unseen USF researchers help protect those hidden in plain sight or lost in a crowd TEDxUSF inspires ideas worth spreading TEDxUSF SPEAKERS TALKED OF surviving cancer, turning adversity into positive change, and noninvasive ways of diagnosing and treating neurological disorders. One by one, six TEDxUSF speakers took the Marshall Student Center Ballroom stage in March to share stories & COOPER PHOTOGRAPHY | Courtesy of USF Student Affairs Success Photos: STAHL from their own lives — and to challenge members of the audience to live theirs differently. TED, short for technology, entertainment and design, is the nonprofit behind the popular TED Talks series, in which speakers share cutting-edge ideas, or as the organization’s popular tagline goes, “ideas worth spreading.” TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events.

Presented by the USF Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement, the theme of this year’s TEDxUSF was “Limitless,” an adjective speakers used to describe everything from the possibilities after surviving cancer to alternative ways of organizing our society. PHOTO “I refuse to be limited by something that may or may not happen,” said Marleah Dean Kruzel, PhD, the first speaker of the evening, as she recounted her mother’s battle with breast cancer and her own experiences since testing positive for BRCA2, a genetic mutation that increases one’s risk for the disease. 2 UNIVERSITY
