Portland Community College students are organizing the TEDxPCC 2018, a “Collective Genius” event from 6-9 p.m., Thursday, April 19, in the Performing Arts Center, Sylvania Campus.
The purpose of this transformative event is to provide a forum for individuals for an open academic discourse of new ideas, innovations, or questions. The overall goal of this event is to create a venue, “where students can use their voices as a positive step towards a sense of unity and solidarity.”
The slate of speakers range from high school and college students to educators. For more on who is peaking, visit the TEDx website.

PCC offers this limited open forum as an extension of the respectful, well-reasoned discourse we expect in our classroom discussions. As such, we welcome all viewpoints, but monitor comments to be sure they stick to the topic and contribute to the conversation. We will remove them if they contain or link to abusive material, personal attacks, profanity, off-topic items, or spam. This is the same behavior we require in our hallways and classrooms. Our online spaces are no different.
