"Against the Grain" Our TEDx Mission
TEDx OKState: Student-Led, Grassroots, and Bold
We are proud to be in our inaugural year, a 100% student-led and grassroots initiative at Oklahoma State University. Every element of this event—from curating speakers to managing logistics—is driven by the passion, creativity, and dedication of our student team.
Why Support Us?
This is more than just an event. It’s a movement built from the ground up by students who are taking bold leaps to show what young minds can truly achieve when empowered to lead and dream big.
Already an eager number of individuals have expressed interest in connecting with OSU’s community. Our efforts have already garnered support from various campus departments and forward-thinking Oklahoma companies that share our vision.
Your contribution helps nurture a platform where fresh ideas flourish, creativity thrives, and leadership is cultivated. Together, we highlight the unique and innovative spirit of our state through diverse voices and interactive experiences.
