Resilience:Consider the Uses of Adversity: Bryce Rafferty at TEDxNightingaleBamfordSchool

Bryce Rafferty is a recent graduate of Colorado College, where he majored in International Political Economy. Now living in Denver, Bryce is working at his alma mater as a research assistant and project coordinator for the Environment and Energy Security Project. Born in Connecticut, Bryce considers the Boston area to be home as he spent his former years in Cohasset and Cambridge, Massachusetts. After graduating from the Taft school, Bryce moved to Colorado for collegiate studies and it didn't take too long for him to decide that the state was his future home. Having an adventurous and creative spirit, he is an active musician and loves just about anything to do with the mountains. Looking ahead, Bryce hopes to attend graduate school for international relations and keep up composing music as well as discovering new ways to be active recreationally in the Rockies.

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)
