The Nash Memorial Lecture Series was found in 1979 by Joseph B. Gavin, SJ, PhD, to honour the first president of Campion College at the University of Regina, Fr. E. Peter W. Nash, SJ, PhD (1913-1997). The Nash Memorial Lecture series is delivered annually and invites distinguished scholars from North America and around the world. Through this series of lectures, Campion College hopes to make a significant contribution to the academic life of the university and community.
In September 2005, Campion College announced the establishment of Father Peter Nash Chair in Religion. The Chair, held for a six to twelve month term by a visiting scholar who is tied academically to the Jesuit tradition, will present the Nash Memorial Lecture each year.
