Nominate a faculty member for the 'Last Lecture'
Nomination submissions for the Last Lecture closed on March 15.
We are excited to announce that Professor Al Danto was nominated for our third annual Last Lecture. The Last Lecture was inspired by Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." Professor Danto will reflect on what matters to him beyond just his area of expertise and will address the prompt, "What wisdom would you like impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?"
