What wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?

The Last Lecture series returns this year, alongside the ULSU Teaching awards ceremony!

In this lecture series, we select 3 professors to come out and impart some wisdom about their life and detail what they think should be the most important takeaways in this big game called life.

This year's featured speakers are:
