Ross Kugman 

Ross Kugman graduated from Lake Forest High School in 2012. He attended Illinois State University majoring in Theatre with a focus in Acting. After studying there for two years Ross decided he needed an educational change. He wasn't getting the intense training he wanted. After auditioning for a few schools in New York and London he was accepted to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art where such actors as Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, The Hobbit, Star Trek), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, American Gangster, Children of Men), David Oyelowo (Selma, The Butler, Lincoln, The Help), and Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter, Moulin Rouge!, The Iron Lady) trained. He studies there now pursuing his passion: acting.

What is TEDx?
: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxLFHS where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLFHS event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
