From Catherine Wulff ’18:
Wes Thinks BIG is a TED-talk style event where 6 of Wesleyan’s favorite professors are asked to lecture for about 10 minutes on literally whatever they want – an experience, a personal passion, an existential question, etc. It’s about getting the school together to contemplate some of life’s many questions and to THINK BIG! There will be a live stream of the event here.
