Jeremiah Stemm is a physiology major on the pre-medicine track and currently a sophomore at SIU. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time at the university so far, joining multiple RSOs and finding his coursework exciting as it prepares him for medical school. Outside of class, Jeremiah enjoys playing chess, diving into various video games, and spending time with friends.
Jeremiah chose to join the organizing team for TEDxSIUC because of his long-standing interest in TED. His fascination began in middle school when a teacher showed the class a few TED Talks. Since then, he has frequently found himself scrolling through different topics and watching videos on his own. Seeing TEDx being hosted at his college felt like a dream come true. He is proud to be an organizer for such an event.
