The Bryan Priestman Memorial Lecture Series, held at UNB Fredericton, was established in 1946 to commemorate Bryan Priestman, a professor of physics at UNB who died in 1945 while attempting to save a boy from drowning in the Saint John River.

Backyard History’s Andrew MacLean recently documented Bryan Priestman’s incredible story. He will introduce the 2026 lecture and pay tribute to the series’ namesake as we mark 80 years of this prestigious and thought-provoking lecture series.

A light reception will follow in the McCain Commons.
