“God’s Scandalous Love and What It Means for Us and Our World” is the title of Professor of Theology Kerry Dearborn’s “Last Lecture” on Tuesday, May 17, 6-7:30 p.m. in Otto Miller Hall, room 109. Kerry is a professor of theology and will retire this year after 19 years at SPU. She was recently named the "Faculty Member of the Year" by the Associated Students of Seattle Pacific. Students, faculty, staff, and the general public are welcome to attend, and light refreshments will be served after the lecture.
The concept of a “Last Lecture" is based on a 2007 lecture and 2008 book by Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer science professor who died from pancreatic cancer in July 2008. In subsequent Last Lectures, professors reflect on what matters most and what wisdom they would hope to share with others.The event is sponsored by the Ivy Honorary, SPU's chapter of the National Mortar Board Honor Society.
