TEDxSillimanU is First in Negros; Features 6 Alumni
The University’s Culture and Arts Council will host the first independently organized Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) talks on Negros Island.
Dubbed TEDxSillimanU, the event slated February 3 at the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium explores the theme “Convergence, Divergence.” It highlights how Dumaguete and Silliman have jointly become a place where ideas are not only created and shared, but also challenged and reinvented.
Six Sillimanians will speak: Palanca-awardee Asst. Prof. Ian Casocot; career diplomat Ms. Stacy Danika Alcantara; LGBTQI advocate Atty. Regal Oliva; eco-artivist Mr. Razcel Jan Salvarita; TV executive Mr. Oliver Victor Amoroso; and sports psychologist Dr. Michele Joan D. Valbuena.
