Last Lecture Series: Dean Danny Glassmann on Living a Tragicomic Life
On October 17, 2023, the 110th Mortar Board Class hosted Dean Danny Glassmann’s Last Lecture Series on Living a Tragicomic Life: Daring to Be Happy and Healthy No Matter What.
Dr. Danny Glassmann is Dean of Students and Associate Vice President for Student Engagement and Support in the Office of Student Life.
Mortar Board’s Last Lecture Series was inspired by Randy Pausch’s national bestselling book, The Last Lecture, which provided a summation of everything he had come to believe mattered most in his life.
In similar fashion, Dean Glassmann’s Last Lecture explored his tragicomic life–past, present, and future–and the lessons, learnings, and love that have come through moments of happiness and sadness. He hopes to inspire us to embrace the tragicomedy in our own lives so that we can dare to live happy and healthy lives no matter what.
