Geisinger College’s School of Medicine Announces TEDx Event

Geisinger College’s School of Medicine is bringing a TEDx event to Scranton on Thursday, Oct. 2. TEDx events, delivered under the banner “ideas worth spreading,” feature insightful, engaging speakers with fresh takes on topics of immediate community interest.

The event will feature seven speakers who will share their points of view on fostering humility. Speakers will explore humility in science, medicine and education.

“For far too many of us, humility is equated with being weak or lacking confidence,” said event planner Calvin Kiniale, a member of Geisinger’s MD Class of 2027. “We want to challenge that idea and showcase humility as a great strength that empowers you to connect with others and embrace lifelong learning. We are looking for speakers who will explore humility in science, medicine and education. Our goal is to spark thought-provoking conversations on the topic.”

• Thursday, Oct. 2, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
• Medical Sciences Building, 525 Pine St., Scranton
• Theme: “Fostering Humility”
