** The Hugh Morris Lecture Series has been generously endowed by Dr. Hugh Morris, former Chair of the PIMS Board of Directors, and long-time friend of the mathematical sciences. The Series attracts the world's top mathematical scientists, who deliver presentations on current research topics to PIMS sites in Western Canada and Washington State.

Dr. Morris (1932-2012) served on the PIMS Board for over ten years. He had more than 40 years of experience in the mineral industry, including a term as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Imperial Metals, and was a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Dr. Morris demonstrated special interest in national and international scientific and professional associations and was a member of NSERC's Council and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Lithoprobe Project.
