A pedestrian bridge on the Carnegie Mellon University campus in Pittsburgh will be named for former computer science professor Randy Pausch, whose impending death from pancreatic cancer was chronicled in the best-selling book "The Last Lecture."
The 230-foot walking bridge will be dedicated on Oct. 30.
The bridge spans a hollow and connects the new Gates Center for Computer Science and the Purnell Center for the Arts on the campus in the city's Oakland section. A ribbon-cutting and bridge-lighting ceremony will be held in front of the Purnell Center's main entrance.
Pausch died at age 47 in his home in Chesapeake, Va., in July 2008.
