The "Last Lecture" Series
A retiring MSOE faculty or staff member is provided the opportunity to pass on his or her knowledge and life-experiences to the campus community. The purpose of the series is twofold: to recognize a faculty or staff member for his or her years of service and contributions to the university, and for those in attendance to learn what the speaker truly believes are the most important facets of their human life experiences and accomplishments. Students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to nominate speakers from a list of eligible individuals, and the speaker is chosen by the Student Life Office.
