Favorite:

These three graduate students discuss how sharing resources, time and ideas fosters learning and change. Through the Villanova- Germantown High School Partnership program has ignited change both in the lives of Germantown students and Villanova students, alike.

Eliza Behymer ('12 MS School Counseling;'09 BA Human Services), Kathleen Gavin ('13 MS Clinical Mental Health Counseling; Millersville '11 BA Psychology), and Amanda Slattery ('13 MS Clinical Mental Health Counseling, '10 A&S Communication), are Graduate Assistants in the Department of Education & Counseling at Villanova University.
In 2010, Eliza began developing the Department's Villanova-Germantown High School partnership. The following year, Kathleen and Amanda continued the program, building upon her previous work and creating "Germantown Scholars." They bring background knowledge of education and counseling gained through teaching, interning in schools, and working with diverse populations.

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)
