Today we flipped the script. Inspired by Randy Pausch’s famous “Last Lecture,” we hosted The First Lecture…a moment not about looking back, but about looking ahead.

Instead of asking someone what wisdom they’d leave behind, we asked: What do you want the world to know as you begin?

Today, we had the honor of introducing Kate Carrier to give their first lecture. Kate shared their voice, ideas, and vision with our community. The beginning of something powerful!

Because sometimes the most important lecture… is the first one.
