Next Level Lab Project Director Megan Cuzzolino was selected to give a TEDx-style “lightning talk” on her research on awe as part of the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s programming for Harvard Alumni Day 2025. In the first ever alumni-centered AlumEdTalks event, HGSE alumni took the stage to deliver short, impactful presentations designed to inspire and ignite action. Through the themes of innovation, equity, and social impact, these talks highlighted bold ideas and transformative approaches shaping the future of education. 

You can watch the recording of the event here. (Megan comes on at 22 minutes but all of the presentations are worth a watch!)
