Last Lecture - Overview
At the end of each academic year, the faculty members of the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences gather together to celebrate
the year, recognize outstanding achievements by their colleagues,
honor retiring faculty members, and socialize together. After
dinner, attendees are treated to a presentation, "The Last
Lecture," by an esteemed member of the faculty whose identity is
kept secret until he or she is announced. A collection of several
of the essays are found at this site.
