BERKELEY – California rugby alumnus Robert Paylor will be a featured speaker at the TEDxBerkeley 2025: HighwayX event Saturday on campus.
 
The event will be held 2:30-5:30 p.m. PT at Zellerbach Hall. Paylor will be giving a talk entitled: "Transforming Paralysis into Power: Lessons from a Quadriplegic".
 
Paylor suffered a life-altering injury on the pitch during Cal's appearance in the 2017 national title match in Santa Clara, and since then has worked tirelessly to not only regain his ability to stand and walk, but also to inspire others through his leadership.
