The art of making new connections | Dr. Maurice Dawson Jr. | TEDxIllinois Tech

In this talk, Dr. Maurice Dawson Jr. explores how simple actions—whether a comment online, a conversation at an event, or a bold walk-up—can lead to life-changing connections. Through practical insights and real experiences, he shows that growth, opportunity, and transformation often start with one courageous moment of reaching out.
