Killam Lectures

The Dorothy J. Killam Memorial Lecture Series is a popular annual event, bringing together the university community, the general public and renowned scholars and thinkers from around the world. The Killam lectures present important and topical issues at Canadian universities with an aim to stimulate public support for pre-doctoral and post-doctoral research. The lectures are also a means to encourage other wealthy Canadians to follow the example of Izaak Walton Killam and Dorothy Johnston Killam in endowing research with private resources.
