Randy Pausch, 47, is a Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In September 2006, he was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer. He has pursued very aggressive treatment but in August of 2007 he was told that the cancer had metastasized to his liver and spleen. The doctors gave him three to six months to live.
In September, Pausch said goodbye to his students and the Pittsburgh college with one last lecture called “How to Live Your Childhood Dreams”, on his life’s journey and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Now referred to as his “Last Lecture”, Pausch has attracted the attention of the world with his amazingly positive outlook in the face of a nearly certain death sentence. The only part of his ordeal that he will characterize as "unfair" is that his wife and three young children will have to go on without him.
