My Last Lecture Award: 2012

"My Last Lecture did more than just allow me to learn concrete facts from a professor’s area of expertise; it also gave me a window into the often unexposed side of academia – the humanity of being an intellectual."
Wesley Wong

Organized by the Alumni Scholars Club, the My Last Lecture Award is the only faculty award at UCLA selected entirely by the student body. It began fifty years ago when notable UCLA professors put all of their life lessons and advice for students into one "last lecture."
