Breakthrough

Harvard Thinks Big

Harvard Thinks Big is a campus-wide event that brings together some of Harvard's most renowned faculty members to speak to the school's undergraduate community. Harvard Thinks Big borrows from the mold of the TED conferences—a collection of all-star Harvard professors each speak for ten minutes about something they are passionate about. The goal of the event is to expose undergraduates to a wide range of "big ideas" that they might not be exposed to otherwise.
