Randy Pausch will continue to make an impact through several charitable and inspirational events occurring over the next several weeks.

Dr. Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer science professor who inspired millions with the video and subsequent book made out of his final lecture at the school, died July 25 after battling pancreatic cancer for nearly two years.

Over the next two weeks, there will be a walk to raise money for pancreatic cancer research and care, three speeches by Wall Street Journal columnist Jeffrey Zaslow and the use of Dr. Pausch's lecture video on several Public Broadcasting System stations for fund raising.

On Sunday, the Pittsburgh affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network will hold its fifth annual fund-raising walk, and this year, more than 100 participants have designated themselves as "Pausch's People" by donating or collecting pledges for the event.

So far, "Pausch's People" alone has raised more than $5,577 for the pancreatic cancer group. The five-kilometer walk and run will start from the North Park boathouse, 399 Pierce Mill Road, at 10 a.m. Registration will begin at 9 a.m., and is $20 for adults, $10 for children 13 to 17, and free for children 12 and younger and cancer survivors.

That same day, Carnegie Mellon University freshmen arrive on campus for a week's orientation. Each member of the class of 2012 has received a copy of "The Last Lecture," the book based on Dr. Pausch's talk, written by him and Mr. Zaslow.

During the ensuing week, the freshmen will discuss the book's lessons in small groups led by more than 100 Carnegie Mellon faculty and staff.

At 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 21, Mr. Zaslow will address the students at an academic convocation on the Baker Hall lawn. Then, from 12:30 to 2 p.m. the next day during a talk in McConomy Auditorium in the student center, Mr. Zaslow will talk about the lessons he learned in helping Dr. Pausch write the book.

Later on Aug. 22, Mr. Zaslow will appear at 7 p.m. at Temple Adat Shalom, 368 Guys Run Road, Cheswick, to talk about the book and Dr. Pausch's life. The event is free and open to the public, but those attending can also make donations to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Mr. Zaslow's talk will be followed by a Kabbalat Shabbat service and a reception.

Carnegie Mellon is planning a public memorial service for Dr. Pausch at a date to be announced later.

In the meantime, several PBS stations around the nation are either showing the video of Dr. Pausch's lecture as part of their regular programming or as a centerpiece of their fund-raising drives.

Alan Foster, who runs Executive Program Services, a distributor for PBS, said that 26 stations already have scheduled the Pausch video, and he anticipates that more than 200 eventually may show it.

"As opposed to many fund-raising broadcasts," Mr. Foster said, "the 'Last Lecture' is much more the kind of programming that PBS would bring its viewers year-round. It creates the emotional reaction and has the inspirational aspect that we think will be very effective."

Mr. Zaslow has given several talks about the book he co-authored since it came out earlier this year.

After a recent appearance on the radio show of Philadelphia lawyer Michael Smerconish, he said, nearly 1,300 people turned out to see excerpts from the lecture. And at a recent drug convention where he spoke, Mr. Zaslow said 750 copies of the book were given away, "so I've seen the reach Randy has had all over the country."
