Last Lecture Series: Genocide: Understanding the Crime of Crimes
The Leadership and Student Engagement (LSE) at the University of Calgary hosted another event in the Last Lecture Series where professors deliver a lecture on any topic they choose, if they had only one lecture left in their careers.
In a written response to the
Gauntlet, the LSE office explained that the concept is an adaptation of a book called
The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.
“The Last Lecture series has been ongoing since 2010. In the book, Pausch detailed everything he wanted his children to know after he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Last Lecture, currently under the UCalgaryStrong initiative, allows UCalgary instructors to talk about topics important to them that they might not otherwise mention in their daily work,” they said. “It allows for an informal way to bridge the gap between students and instructors that helps them connect on a human level.”
