Last Lecture

The Last Lecture is a tradition at many universities, in which a professor is asked to prepare a lecture guided by the question: “If it were your last chance to give a lecture to students, what would you say?” Faculty lecturers are chosen each year by students from the honors program as a way of recognizing the outstanding faculty who have influenced them.
