The Power of Student Activism | Nina Baumgartner | TEDxTU

One of every four women will be sexually assaulted during their time in college. Nina Baumgartner encourages students everywhere to "know their numbers" as they use student activism to change the dialogue surrounding sexual assault on college campuses. Nina Baumgartner is a senior at Tulane University studying Neuroscience and Gender & Sexuality Studies. Through her work as a Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Intern at the Newcomb College Institute, she recently organized the first ever Louisiana Sexual Assault Student Activist Conference, which had over 100 participants from across Louisiana and beyond. Heavily involved in activism during her time at Tulane, she launched the Know Your Numbers Tulane video campaign to help students understand how to read sexual assault statistics and directed the 2015 production of The Vagina Monologues. Nina also works as a researcher in a Tulane University neuroendocrinology lab, and hopes to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience after graduation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
