Previous CMU/ETC student here - I was lucky enough to be there, and I still remember it. I was a student at the ETC that year, and it was the first year Randy wasn't teaching, as he was sick. I hadn't met him yet, but the reverence the second-year students had for him was more than enough to convince the whole department to attend. I'm so glad I did. The values and ethics he built into the ETC made it a truly amazing place, and was great to hear his story. As we are on a forum for startups - I sometimes think about how Randy might have been sharing his Mission/Vision/Values with us, but by other names; how his personal beliefs could be imbued into his lessons and the department itself. He did an amazing job. Seriously - watch the video. You'll be inspired. You'll cry. You'll want to program really odd VR games just for fun :D
