"I" से "We" तक: नाइजीरिया ने मुझे क्या सिखाया | डॉ. लिंकन मॉरिस | TEDxJimeta

एक अमेरिकी प्रवासी महिला बताती हैं कि नाइजीरिया में रहने के बाद इस देश के प्रति उनकी सोच कैसे बदली। कठिनाइयों से जुड़ी रूढ़ियों से आगे बढ़कर वे वहाँ की जीवंत संस्कृति, सहनशीलता और गहरे मानवीय संबंधों की सराहना करती हैं। यह वक्तव्य "मैं कर सकता हूँ" वाली व्यक्तिवादी सोच से "हम" की भावना तक के बदलाव, अनिश्चितता को स्वीकार करने और निर्णय की जगह जिज्ञासा अपनाने पर केंद्रित है। यह एक TEDx कार्यक्रम में दिया गया सांस्कृतिक आदान-प्रदान पर वक्तव्य है।

• नाइजीरियाई संस्कृति से एक अमेरिकी प्रवासी का अनुभव
• "मैं कर सकता हूँ" से "हम" की शक्ति तक का बदलाव
• अनिश्चितता को अपनाना और निर्णय की जगह जिज्ञासा

Dr. Lincoln Morris serves as Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs at AUN, joining the university on September 1, 2025. With 25 years of experience in higher education, specializing in Enrollment Management, Morris transitioned to real estate brokerage in Urbana, Illinois, in 2018. Following market instability after COVID-19, Morris moved into insurance sales, but ultimately found greater fulfillment in returning to academia. Throughout his career, Morris has held positions at 7 universities-both public and private-and completed several one-year consulting assignments. His decision to rejoin higher education was reinforced through discussions with President DeWayne Frazier, leading to his appointment at AUN. Morris is enthusiastic about resuming his work with students and adapting to his new professional setting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
