ABOUT US

We are a society of like-minded individuals seeking to disrupt the norms through creativity and innovation.

Background

Making Waves Since 2015

TD Connect is a weird, cross-disciplinary community designed to fill the gaps between creatively intelligent humans and fuel a seriously social & glocal entrepreneurial spirit.

We are a student driven organisation serving the humans entangled in the TD School through BCII, DOI and TD Electives. Affiliated with Activate UTS, we are a faculty society aimed at strengthening our aspirational and enterprising thinkers. We aim to create an arena that nurtures collaboration between disciplines, cultures, perspectives and people.

There is nothing more important to our team than to promote the constructive and playful exchange of ideas and beliefs in order to grow stronger through our diversity.
