Lecture of a Lifetime

A dynamic demonstration of academic talent and achievement, and a public invitation to sample the student experience at UCalgary.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our university to reach out to the wider community and share the work of our incredible thought leaders right here in the city.

UCalgary’s Lecture of a Lifetime is a dynamic demonstration of academic talent and achievement, and a public invitation to sample the student experience at UCalgary.

The lecture series is based on a presentation delivered by a professor at Carnegie Mellon called The Last Lecture. The idea was to present a hypothetical final talk to answer the question, "What wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?"

This is the seventh Lecture of Lifetime presented by the Chancellor and Senate at the University of Calgary since 2008.
