…and if he doesn’t, then his founders, Kamrin Klauschie and José Ramos will.

Kamrin is a fourth year International Studies major who was extremely involved on campus. She
was in charge of the Vendor Fair, founded ASUCI’s Farmer’s Market, organized Care-a-thon,
and was an integral part of so many other organizations. She left most of those extra-curriculars
behind for TED which monopolizes her time now. It is evident that TED is where her passions
lay; she gained an air of confidence whenever she spoke of TED and pride laced her tone. When
asked about her other accomplishments, she didn’t even bother going through the extensive list
and told me “TED is what matters now.” It is extremely refreshing to see someone so absorbed
something so inspiring purely because it means so much to her. Kamrin wishes to pursue a job
in business marketing, which she is fit to do as demonstrated by her extensive people skills, and
hopes to eventually start her own charity-business.

José is a third year civil engineer major who came across TED during a class when Professor
Eppel showed his class a TED talk. When he speaks of TED something changes about him as
well; he becomes more relaxed and almost giddy when he talks of their inspirational power. As
if his caring heart wasn’t enough to draw a girl in, his involvement on campus is. He is affiliated
with Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a community assistant for Visa Del Campo Norté, and a former captain
of the club soccer team. He hopes to find a way to balance his passions for civil engineering and
inspiring others as TED has done for him.
