Randy Pausch Memorial FootbridgeStop on Carnegie Mellon University, a free self-guided tour.One of CMU's most beloved landmarks, the Randy Pausch Memorial Footbridge connects the Gates-Hillman Center to the Purnell Center for the Arts - a symbolic link between CMU's computer science and artistic programs that perfectly reflects its namesake's spirit. Randy Pausch was a beloved CMU computer science professor who became an international inspiration through his 'Last Lecture,' delivered in September 2007 after he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. The lecture, titled 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,' went viral and became a best-selling book, touching millions of lives worldwide. Pausch embodied CMU's spirit of joyful, purposeful, interdisciplinary work. The bridge opened in 2008, the year of his death at age 47, and serves as a daily reminder of his legacy to every person who crosses it.Stops on this tourThe Cut - Heart of CMU CampusHammerschlag Hall - Original Carnegie TechMargaret Morrison Carnegie HallCollege of Fine Arts BuildingBaker Hall - Humanities and Social SciencesGates-Hillman Center - School of Computer ScienceNewell-Simon Hall - Robotics InstituteRandy Pausch Memorial FootbridgePurnell Center for the ArtsCohon University CenterThe CMU FenceHunt LibraryWean Hall - Mathematics and ComputingTepper School of BusinessWarner Hall - University AdministrationSoftware Engineering InstituteGesling Stadium and Campus Athletics
