TEDx Team
Meet the TEDx Bellarmine Core Team
Present TEDx Core Members
Dr. Shawn Apostel, Faculty Adviser, Assistant Professor of Communication
My passion at work is mentoring students as they develop their online voices, whether through social media, responsive web pages, videos or a mixture of everything. I also enjoy traveling (Air B&B style) and hope to visit 50 countries in my lifetime. This is complicated by the fact that I tend to keep returning to Sweden (20 countries and 10 trips to Sweden--long story).
