Have you experienced an instructor who inspired you, motivated you, showed you they have an interesting life story and/or gotten you excited about course material? If so, you have a chance to nominate your instructor to inspire others through the yearly If this were my Last Lecture event. Nominations are available until February 26th.

One person will be chosen from all nominees to present their version of what their last lecture might look like if they knew it was the last time they would be able to speak to a group of students. These lectures offer instructors the opportunity to share life lessons, words of wisdom and truth they want all students to know. To nominate one of your instructor for If this were my Last Lecture go to http://housing.eku.edu/if-were-my-last-lecture. From this site you can also view past Last Lecture Videos.
