Randolph Frederick "Randy" Pausch (23. oktoober 1960, Baltimore, Maryland, USA – 25. juuli 2008, Chesapeake, Virginia osariik, USA) oli USA arvutiteadlane, arvutiteaduse, inimese ja arvuti suhtluse ning disaini professor Carnegie Melloni Ülikoolis (Carnegie Mellon University, CMU) Pennsylvania osariigis Pittsburghis. 2006. aasta septembris sai Pausch teada, et tal on surmav kõhunäärmevähk. 18. septembril 2007 pidas ta Carnegie Mellonis optimistliku loengu pealkirjaga "Viimane loeng: kuidas teostada oma lapsepõlveunistusi". Kui loengu video võitis populaarsust Youtube'is, kutsuti Pauschi esinema ka mujal meedias. Koos Wall Street Journali ajakirjaniku Jeffrey Zaslow'ga kirjutas ta seejärel samadel teemadel raamatu "Viimane loeng", millest sai New York Timesi bestseller. Pausch suri kõhunäärmevähi tüsistustesse 25. juulil 2008.

Varasem elu

Pausch sündis Marylandi osariigis Baltimore'is ja kasvas samas osariigis Columbias. Pärast Oakland Millsi keskkooli lõpetamist Columbias kaitses Pausch mais 1982 Browni Ülikoolis bakalaureusekraadi arvuteaduses ning 1988. aasta augustis filosoofiadoktori kraadi arvutiteaduses Carnegie Melloni Ülikoolis. Doktorantuuri lõpul töötas Pausch lühidalt Xeroxi Palo Alto uurimiskeskuses ja Adobe Systemsis.

Karjäär arvutiteaduses

1988-1997 oli Pausch Virginia Ülikooli insenerinduse ja rakendusteaduse kooli arvutiteaduse osakonna dotsent. Sealse vaba semestri ajal töötas ta Walt Disney Imagineeringus ja Electronic Artsis. 1997 sai Pauschist arvutiteaduse, inimese-arvuti suhtluse ja disaini dotsent. Koos Don Marinelliga asutas ta 1998 ülikooli meelelahutustehnoloogia keskuse, kus õpetas 10 aasta vältel virtuaalmaailmade ehitamist. Kasutajaliidese ehitamise asjus konsulteeris ta Google'it, samuti PARCi, Imagineeringut ja Media Metrixit. Pausch oli tarkvaraprojekti Alice asutaja, viie raamatu ning enam kui 70 artikli autor või kaasautor.

2007. aastal pälvis Pausch Arvutustehnika Assotsiatsioonilt (Association for Computing Machinery, ACM) kaks auhinda saavutuste eest arvutihariduses: Karl V. Karlstromi väljapaistva pedagoogi auhinna ja ACM-i arvutiteaduse erihuvigrupi auhinnna väljapaistva panuse eest arvutiteaduse alases hariduses. 2007. aastal valiti ta assotsiatsiooni liikmeks.

Vähk ja surm

Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) on September 19, 2006 in an unsuccessful attempt to halt his pancreatic cancer. He was told in August 2007 to expect a remaining three to six months of good health. He soon moved his family to Chesapeake, Virginia, a suburb near Norfolk, to be close to his wife's family. On March 13, 2008, Pausch advocated for greater federal funding for pancreatic cancer before the United States Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. In the week prior to this, he had been hospitalized in order to have needle aspiration of pleural effusion in his right lung.

On May 2, 2008, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed that he had very tiny (Mall:Convert or less) metastases in his lungs and some lymph nodes in his chest. He also had some metastases in his peritoneal and retroperitoneal cavities. On June 26, 2008, Pausch indicated that he was considering stopping further chemotherapy because of the potential adverse side effects. He was, however, considering some immuno-therapy-based approaches. On July 24, on behalf of Pausch, a friend anonymously posted a message on Pausch's webpage stating that a biopsy had indicated that the cancer had progressed further than what was expected from recent PET scans and that Pausch had "taken a step down" and was "much sicker than he had been". The friend also stated that Pausch had then enrolled in a hospice program designed to provide palliative care to those at the end of life.

25. juulil 2008 suri Pausch 47-aastaselt oma kodus Chesapeake'is Virginia osariigis kõhunäärmevähki. Temast jäid maha ta naine Jai ja nende kolm last: Dylan, Logan ja Chloe.

"Kuidas saavutada oma lapsepõlveunistusi"

 Pikemalt artiklis Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

Pausch delivered his "Last Lecture", titled Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, at CMU on September 18, 2007. Randy Pausch gave an abridged version of his speech on the Oprah show in October 2007. The talk was modeled after an ongoing series of lectures where top academics are asked to think deeply about what matters to them, and then give a hypothetical "final talk", with a topic such as "what wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?" Before speaking, Pausch received a long standing ovation from a large crowd of over 400 colleagues and students. When he motioned them to sit down, saying, "Make me earn it," someone in the audience shouted back, "You did!"

During the lecture, Pausch was upbeat and humorous, alternating between wisecracks, insights on computer science and engineering education, advice on building multi-disciplinary collaborations, working in groups and interacting with other people, offering inspirational life lessons, and performing push-ups on stage. He also commented on the irony that the "Last Lecture" series had recently been renamed as "Journeys", saying, "I thought, damn, I finally nailed the venue and they renamed it." After Pausch finished his lecture, Steve Seabolt, on behalf of Electronic Arts—which is now collaborating with CMU in the development of Alice 3.0—pledged to honor Pausch by creating a memorial scholarship for women in computer science, in recognition of Pausch's support and mentoring of women in CS and engineering.

CMU president Jared Cohon spoke emotionally of Pausch's humanity and called his contributions to the university and to education "remarkable and stunning". He then announced that CMU will celebrate Pausch's impact on the world by building and naming after Pausch a raised pedestrian bridge to connect CMU's new Computer Science building and the Center for the Arts, symbolizing the way Pausch linked those two disciplines. Brown University professor Andries van Dam followed Pausch's last lecture with a tearful and impassioned speech praising him for his courage and leadership, calling him a role model.

Viimane loeng

The Disney-owned publisher Hyperion paid $6.7 million for the rights to publish a book about Pausch called The Last Lecture, co-authored by Pausch and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeffrey Zaslow. The book became a New York Times best-seller on April 28, 2008. The Last Lecture expands on Pausch's speech. The book's first printing had 400,000 copies, and it has been translated into 46 languages. Despite speculation that the book would be made into a movie, Pausch had denied these rumors, stating that "there's a reason to do the book, but if it's telling the story of the lecture in the medium of film, we already have that."

Meediakajastus

Pausch was named "Person of the Week" on ABC's World News with Charles Gibson on September 21, 2007. His "Last Lecture" attracted wide attention from the international media, became an Internet hit, and was viewed over a million times in the first month after its delivery. On October 22, 2007, Pausch appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show where he discussed his situation and summarized his "Last Lecture". On October 6, 2007, Pausch joined the Pittsburgh Steelers for the day during their regular practice, after the organization learned that one of his childhood dreams mentioned in his "Last Lecture" was to play in the NFL. On April 9, 2008, the ABC network aired an hour long Diane Sawyer feature on Pausch titled "The Last Lecture: A Love Story For Your Life". On July 29, 2008, ABC aired a follow up to the Last Lecture special, remembering Pausch and his famous lecture.

Muud loengud ja esinemised

Pausch gave a lecture about time management on November 27, 2007 at the University of Virginia, to an audience of over 850 people. In March 2008, Pausch appeared in a public service announcement video and testified before Congress in support of cancer research. On May 18, 2008, Pausch made a surprise return appearance at Carnegie Mellon, giving a speech at the commencement ceremony, as well as attending the School of Computer Science's diploma ceremony, and on May 19 Pausch appeared on the Good Morning America show. His lecture, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams", was nominated at the 2007 YouTube Video Awards.

A devoted Star Trek fan, Pausch was invited by film director J. J. Abrams to film a role in the latest Star Trek movie. Abrams heard of Pausch's condition and sent a personal e-mail inviting Pausch to the set. Pausch accepted and traveled to Los Angeles, California to shoot his scene. In addition to appearing in the film, he also has a line of dialogue at the beginning of the film ("Captain, we have visual.") and donated the $217.06 paycheck to charity.
