TEDxFHSU

Holly Weiss is one of six speakers the TEDxFHSU team has announced will be speaking at an upcoming conference. Of the seven global challenges featured throughout the event, Weiss will address Resource Management in a talk that is sure to spark deep discussion and connection, a trademark of TEDx conferences.

Weiss is a Graduate Student at Fort Hays State University pursuing a Master’s degree in Higher Education Student Affairs. She received her Bachelors of Arts in Organizational Leadership and English Literature from Fort Hays in 2014. Weiss is from Anthony, KS and is one of five children in her family. While an undergrad at FHSU she was a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority where she served as President for 2013-2014. She also sat on the Student Government Senate. Weiss chose to attend FHSU because after her first visit it felt like the “home away from home.”

Weiss believes that higher education and community involvement is key to the success of young adults. She is pursuing a Master’s in Higher Education so that she can continue the cycle and create a positive experience for future students. Weiss would like to work for a university or organization one day that helps build up young adults and empower them to reach their full potential. Her experiences at FHSU made her passionate for human rights and gender-equality. She had the privilege to work for the Center for Civic Leadership where she was able to express those interests. She now works as the Graduate Assistant for Learning Communities and Student Life in the Division of Student Affairs.

Six live speakers will present at TEDxFHSU. A new speaker will be revealed once a week on Thursdays leading up to ticket distribution on March 11.
