Wesleyan Thinks BIG

Share

No slides. No handouts. No Moodle. Just the most exciting professors at Wesleyan, telling us about the ideas they can’t stop thinking about.

Wesleyan Thinks BIG is a TED-talk style event where Wesleyan's beloved professors and administrators are asked to speak for about 10 minutes on an experience, a personal passion, an existential question, etc. It's a way to bring the community together outside of the classroom and think BIG!
