TEDx provides big stage for UNC student speaker

by Stirling Little

Now we hear from a student who — as we speak — is backstage at Memorial Hall with sweaty palms.

Senior Stirling Little, who is one of our reporters with Carolina Connection, was also chosen as the student speaker at TEDx-UNC. That’s an educational conference for people to come together and share ideas they are passionate about.

TEDx conferences around the country have attracted millions of viewers in person and online.

As he prepared his speech, Stirling sent us this audio journal about how he spent the past week.
