Three interesting speakers. Besides Jesse...
Dr. Kim Gorgens will be talking about concussions which is a constant worry for hockey players. Rhett Rakhshani is still injured with a concussion suffered last week.
Joe Monteith was convicted of distributing cocaine and ended up learning how to read and write in prison. Eventually he started taking classes at a local community college before applying to DU.
is there any way we can record jesse's speech. I'll be stuck in class
Some of these TEDxDU speeches have been video streamed live and others posted on YouTube.
