Last Lecture Series
ASU's Last Lecture Series offers three ASU professors the opportunity to address students and colleagues with one lecture as though it were their last. Although the professor I nominated isn't speaking, I'll probably still check out a few of this year's lecturers.

Comments
The word on the street is that Neal Lester's teaching repertoire includes a vast amount of yo mamma jokes, rap music, and ebonics. I'll be there.

Damn, I missed that one. Dinner with my mom ran long. I was planning on taking Dr. Lester's class while still an English minor. Last I heard he was teaching Post-Harlem Rennaissance Literature. That would've been quite the education for me.
