 "Last
Lecture" Series
This series, part
of the Lilly Vocation
Discernment Initiative, offers students and faculty an
opportunity to learn more about why some of their favorite
professors find the work they do meaningful and worthwhile.
The pretext of the lecture is that the speaker is about
to retire and has been asked to sum up in a final lecture
to students what they believe has made the work they've
dedicated themselves to worthwhile . Given a "last" chance,
what's worth saying? What wisdom would it be most
important to pass on? What challenges have to go
unfulfilled?
