Dr. Dick Day's "Last Lecture"

Dr. Dick Day's "Last Lecture"

Two years ago Dr. Randy Pausch gave his last lecture at Carnegie Mellon University as he fell ill with cancer. It was an event to remember filled with his life stories, experiences and lesson learned. The student body was learning from their teacher in a new way, outside the ordinary structured day-to-day classes.
The lecture can be viewed here.

Bringing the premise of a last lecture to McMaster to learn about what our profs have to say outside the text book, The Last Lecture Series Club has arranged Dr. Richard Day to put on a lecture as if it were his last one.

Date: Thursdayday, October 22, 2009
Time: 7:30PM-9:30PM
Location: HSC 1A1
(location and time to be confirmed!)
