The famous TED Talks are being brought to Missouri by two MBA students in an individualized event, TEDxMU.
After meeting at orientation for the MBA program in August 2011, Aamer Trambu and Curtis Roller noticed that while there were numerous entrepreneurial events, most were focused specifically on business. They discussed the need for a different type of event, and they formulated the idea of bringing the TED Talks to MU. During Thanksgiving break, Trambu applied for a license. He got it.
Mentioned later in the article is the Reynolds Journalism Institute:
Following a news release sent out Dec. 23, the TEDxMU team was flooded with responses from the community. Student Life, the dean of Trulaske College of Business, the Reynolds Journalism Institute and the Crosby MBA program have gotten on board with the event. Residents of Columbia and mid-Missouri also offered to help in any way they could.
