The TEDxIndianapolis event is coming up next week! Make sure to get your tickets and see some great talks!

Some of the most amazing events in history have happened in places otherwise prosaic - such as Operation Overlord (the D-Day landing in Normandy), the crash of the zeppelin Hindenburg, or the Boston Tea Party. So, how can we know if the ground beneath us witnessed history in the making?

In his TEDx Talk, Seth Taras talks about the 'Know where you stand' project, where an extraordinary photograph from history is overlapped with a contemporary, prosaic image, from the same site, to showcase where, in today's world, events that changed the course of history happened

Check out Taras' TEDx Talk on YouTube!

What about you? What did your street look like 25, 50, 100 years ago? What amazing events from your local history happened on your street corner? We would love to hear about it in the comments!

Football is one of the most dangerous sports for human brains. Yet, it also teaches athletes how to better cope in life. So, what should we do about the sport?

Check out Dr. Steven Schlozman's TED talk to learn more about the dilemma on the pros and cons of football

What do you think? Is football too dangerous to be saved? Is the sport too helpful to young athletes to be scrapped? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Life comes with a lot of hardship: from simple, routine annoyances, to sudden changes; from hard situations, to multiple annoyances that compound; from career-altering events, to life-threatening situations. But, at the end of the day, each moment of hardship, each obstacle that one overcomes is a lesson that provides with a skillset that will prove crucial later on, as well as with a deeper comprehension of oneself

Such was the case of Wabash College's very own William Yank. Just this past year, he was thrown in a life-or-death fight against leukemia. The disease put him in situations that caused him great distress, which, in turn, caused him to feel powerful, negative emotions

Yet, Will realized that precisely these emotions helped him push through the disease, and come out victorious in the end

We invite you to check out his inspiring TEDx talk about how he defeated leukemia on YouTube

Also, in just one short week, Yank will be starting classes again at Wabash College, as a member of the senior class

Welcome back, Will! We sure missed you, here, at Wabash!
