About the UNT Kuehne Speaker Series

The UNT Kuehne Speaker Series is an award-winning, signature event of the University of North Texas that brings some of the nation’s most influential voices to North Texas for timely conversations on global issues, leadership and innovation.

Since its founding in 2013, the Kuehne Speaker Series has become a premier forum for high-profile discussion and community engagement — drawing audiences of 700-800 business, civic and philanthropic leaders per event.

The series also fuels impact beyond the stage. The Kuehne Speaker Series Endowed Scholarship Fund — the largest donor-funded scholarship program at UNT— awards up to six $25,000 scholarships annually to outstanding students, covering a full year of their education and supporting UNT’s mission to shape the next generation of leaders.
