Tomorrow, SLHS Professor Dr. Huber will be one of the featured presenters in the TEDx talks at Purdue. There are still plenty of tickets left so you should check it out, it is only $10 and a great way to support the department. In honor of the TEDx event at Purdue tomorrow, I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite TEDx videos! TEDx is one of my favorite web sites because their are speakers from every walk of life. The informative talks aren't lengthy and are easy to understand, so browsing on this site is time well spent :)
Here are some of my favorites related to the field:

On a side note, I know it's been a extremely joyous and stressful time for the seniors these past few weeks. When you're facing disappointments, remember that your self worth is not based on your awards or accomplishments but on the kindness of your heart. I struggle with this constantly, but it's important to remember to only compete with yourself, and to work to make yourself better for you so you can be the best clinician you can be.
