Submit Your Nominations for the Last Lecture Series

Each semester a faculty member will be selected from student nominations to speak for the Last Lecture series.

The Last Lecture series provides an informal format for selected faculty to share reflections from their life and to speak to students as if it was their last lecture ever. There are not any rules for the lecture – the faculty member will be speaking from the premise, “If you knew this was your last lecture you would ever give, what would you share with students?”

Nominations from students will be accepted through February 26, 2010. The faculty member selected will be asked to speak during April 2010.

Nomination forms can be picked up in 319 BSC in the Student Involvement Center or via the website.

Submit nominations to Student Involvement Center in 319 BSC or via email to lastlect@slu.edu.

This program sponsored by the Division of Student Development and the Office of the Provost.
