The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams is based on a presentation given by computer science professor Randy Pausch at Carnegie Mellon University on September 18, 2007 a month after Pausch was told that he had only months to live, due to terminal pancreatic cancer. The original talk was attended by 400 students and colleagues and focused on Pausch's childhood goals, lifetime of accomplishments, and advice to others on how to fulfill their dreams.
Pausch died on July 25, 2008.
