Guilford College Bryan Series
Thank you for your support of the Bryan Series through the years. Here's a look back at some of the 100+ speakers to visit Greensboro in either Dana Auditorium…
Presenting great speakers from 1996 to 2025
From September 1996 until April 2025, Guilford College was proud to host well over 100 notable speakers in the Bryan Distinguished Visiting Professorship in the Arts, Humanities and Public Affairs, which was renamed the Bryan Series in 2002. Programs were presented in Greensboro in Dana Auditorium on campus, War Memorial Auditorium, the main arena of the Greensboro (now First Horizon) Coliseum and the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts, as well as on two occasions in Durham, N.C., and Winston-Salem, N.C. While the series concluded in the spring of 2025, we remember so many wonderful programs and are grateful for the thousands of subscribers, Legacy Society members and corporate sponsors who sustained it over the years. Most of all, we honor the vision and generosity of Joseph M. Bryan Jr. '60, trustee chair emeritus of Guilford College, who established the visiting professorship and supported the program throughout its history.
