Brooks College Faculty Giving "Last Lecture"
March 03, 2011
At Student Senate’s Last Lecture, Sheldon Kopperl, Biomedical
Science and Liberal Studies professor; and Danielle DeMuth, Women
and Gender Studies professor, will present at the annual
event on Thursday, March 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the Pere Marquette room
in the Kirkhof Center.
The event, held at universities across the nation, is inspired by
a speech delivered in 2007 by cancer-stricken Carnegie Mellon
University professor Randy Pausch titled, “The Last Lecture.” It
focused on celebrating the life he had always dreamed of instead of
concentrating on death. He died almost a year after giving the speech
at age 47.
“This event is a great opportunity for students to see professors
present a lecture that holds special significance to them,” said
Lauren Kaercher, vice president of educational affairs for Student Senate.
The event is free approved for LIB 100. Pizza will be provided.
