TEDxMarshallU 2025: Beyond Borders

Our Theme

We are seemingly separated by many borders between places, people, and ideas. These physical and invisible borders take many shapes and forms, but what happens when we think outside the boxes to which we’re confined? When we look beyond our borders, we uncover limitless possibilities that can introduce us to a new world of diverse outlooks and innovative mindsets. We may even come to understand the reasons why some borders are necessary. Join us as our TEDxMarshallU speakers challenge our ideas about the world and help us explore how going “Beyond Borders” can inform, shape, and redefine our human experience.
