EdTalks: A Celebration of K-12 Education
Local leaders and celebrities delivered short TED-style talks about the importance of K-12 education and how their classroom experiences impacted their lives during the NC State College of Education’s first EdTalks Monday, Oct. 21, 2019. We also celebrated alumni who had received national, state and district-wide awards in 2018-19 for their work in K-12 schools.

Can’t help but leave feeling inspired after being at EdTalks. To hear the stories of students/teachers, & how they were inspired, seeing the talent of our future generation, knowing the positive impact I’ll make in the future. I had goosebumps the entire night ♥️ #EdTalks2019
