One of the highlights of the spring takes the stage tonight as three ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge faculty members participate in the Last Lecture Series.

Presented by the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Students' Union, this is an opportunity for ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge professors to talk about life lessons that cannot be learned in a classroom.

This year's speakers are Dr. Jan Newberry, Faculty of Arts and Science – Anthropology; Dr. Jay Gamble, Faculty of Arts and Science – English; and Dr. Louise Barrett, Faculty of Arts and Science – Psychology. These distinguished speakers will deliver a hypothetical Last Lecture about life, love, success and basic knowledge they feel everyone should know.

The Last Lecture is a book co-authored by Randy Pausch, detailing everything he wanted his children to know after he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Pausch delivered his last lecture entitled Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams as part of a lecture series where ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ are challenged to think about what really matters to them and give a Last Lecture.

The Last Lecture is Thursday, Apr. 8th at 7 p.m. in PE 261. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
