Carnegie Mellon Honors Pausch With Bridge
We’ve written before about the late Randy Pausch, the former U.Va. computer science professor whose wisdom-filled “last lecture” at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh – delivered after being diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer – became an Internet sensation, which in turn spawned a book and many national media appearances.
Pausch died in July 2008, but not before returning to U.Va. for another “last lecture” of sorts, this one focusing on time management.
Now comes word that his last employer, Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, has dedicated a 230-foot-long pedestrian bridge in his honor (as was announced at the end of his original last lecture). The bridge connects the school’s Gates Center for Computer Science and its Purnell Center for the Arts — a concrete manifestation of an academic link that Pausch actively promoted in his lifetime.
