To the Lighthouse: Dr. Elizabeth Wells at TEDxBishopsU

Dr. Elizabeth Wells has been a professor in the Mount Allison Music Department since 2001. She earned her Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Toronto and then pursued a career in public broadcasting, working as a music programmer and producer of a variety of classical music programs for CJRT-FM in Toronto. In 1993, she was accepted to the Doctoral program in musicology at the Eastman School of Music. In 2007 Dr. Wells was awarded Mount Allison's Crake Teaching Award in Arts, and in 2008 was the recipient of the University's Herbert and Leota Tucker Teaching Award. Dr. Wells's talk focuses on the aspirational elements of what a university can and should be: a paradise.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
