I notice a lot of folks here from out of town and we appreciate your coming.

We are very fortunate to have today with us

I first met Randy in 1992 when I became a professor here at UVA

and I was lucky enough to recognize Randy's greatness early on

and his honesty courage and grace were very striking even back then.

Randy has been sort of a cross between Yoda

and his unique combination of wisdom leadership and humor

has taught me many important life lessons over the years.

Randy always gave me and everybody else honest advice

that was untainted by political correctness

and in fact sometimes untainted by politeness even but

I appreciated that greatly because as a mentor

that "Talent does what it can but genius does what it must."

And Randy's genius has been a valuable asset to me

His sharp wit has made us laugh many many times and still does.

that those who think that you can't have a lot of fun while getting an education

Indeed Randy has raised the level of fun in education

for doing so and for the wonderful value that he added to our lives.

Randy's impact will continue to touch and affect many many people

across the world for many many years to come.

And now we would like to introduce our dean of engineering Jim Aylor

who has a few more things to say about Randy. Thank you.

Wow. It's really great to see everyone here

and the School of Engineering and Applied Science is really excited that you've come to help us

honor our colleague and friend Randy Pausch.

My understanding is that every seat is filled so we really do appreciate everyone

What I want to do is to give you a little bit of background on Randy.

know about him either directly or indirectly but then I want to make a couple of announcements

that are special to us here at UVA and the School of Engineering

and in special in terms of initial announcements of things that are going to happen.

Randy received his B.S. in Computer Science from Brown University in 1982

and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1988.

Directly from CMU he joined the faculty of the Computer Sciences of the University of Virginia

where he successfully was granted tenure.

During his time at Virginia he established a major research activity in the general area of human

Probably more importantly he was a dedicated educator

and served as a mentor for many students and many of his colleagues.

One of the most important and most successful initiatives while at Virginia

which has proven very effective at getting and keeping

middle school girls interested in computers.

In fact thanks to an agreement with Electronic Arts the next version

of ALICE will use the 3D characters and animation from The Sims

the most popular PC video game in history.

This is an outstanding accomplishment for Randy

it will be a major contribution to efforts to increaseliteracy in Computer Science.

On behalf of Bob Pianta dean of the Curry School of Education and myself

that the University of Virginia Young Women Leaders program

a well-established mentoring program at the UVA's

Women's Center and the Curry School of Education

with the goal of boosting the self-esteem and leadership skills

is now planning to incorporate ALICE into its mentoring program

through a collaborate effort with the Department of Computer Science.

This initiative will allow both middle-school girls and their college mentors

to receive exposure to computing concepts

to the design of 3-dimensional animated virtual worlds.

This will impact several important fronts

including encouraging young women to enter technology fields

and building cross- disciplinary bridges.

The university is honored to be able to incorporate Randy's great legacy

At CMU Randy co-founded the Entertainment Technology Center

an activity based on the principle of having technologist

He has also worked for a period with Walt Disney's Imagineering.

I'm also pleased to let you know that Disney-own publisher Hyperion

has just announced plans to publish a book

and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Zaslow.
