Randy Pausch PhD was a professor of computer science, human computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August of 2006 and passed away on the 25th of July 2008.
Randy delivered his “Last Lecture,” titled “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” at CMU on September 18, 2007. This talk was modeled after an ongoing series of lectures where top academics are asked to think deeply about what matters to them, and then give a hypothetical “final talk,” that is “what wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?”
See The Last Lecture below.
