In Memoriam: Randy Pausch (1960-2008)

“If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you.” - Randy Pausch

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium.

In his moving presentation, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.
