Hi everyone! I’m Julia Maguire, Chief Legal Officer here at TEDxSCU, and I’m a sophomore year Accounting major and Political Science minor.

I know this year is a little bit different but I am so excited about these new formats we will be trying out! Specifically, with the student talks, I can't wait to meet all of you and learn more about your unique ideas! Go to the tedxscu.com for the speaker/officer applications :)))

Why We Ignore Obvious Problems and How to Act on Them Why do we often neglect big problems, like the financial crisis and climate change, until it's too late?

She shows why predictable crises catch us by surprise and lays out some signs that there may be a charging rhino in your life right now.
