Fast Trains: Steve Frappier at TEDxCoconutGrove

College counseling connects the subjects that Steve has always enjoyed: geography, statistics, and cross-cultural psychology. Steve was born in Italy and grew up in a Taiwanese-American household, primarily in Alabama and Florida. At Washington University in St Louis, Steve graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Russian and Art History & Archaeology; his graduate work explored the usages of Native American portraiture within various Lewis & Clark Bicentennial exhibitions. Steve previously worked in college admissions at his alma mater, focusing on multicultural recruitment. He coaches over thirty students on the Ransom Everglades academic team, and he is the current Chair of Research for ACCIS, the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools.

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)
