Two professors will give a lecture as though it is the last one they will ever give.
At Student Senate’s Last Lecture, Sheldon Kopperl, biomedical
science 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.
