TEDxClevelandStateUniversity is more than an event — it is a platform for expanding thinking, amplifying ideas and fostering meaningful conversations across campus and the Greater Cleveland community.

Untangling Wonder invites the community to step into the unknown with curiosity, courage and imagination. It reflects CSU’s commitment to push the boundaries of knowledge, discovery, innovation and creativity.
