Silk Speaker Series
The University of San Francisco Silk Speaker Series includes key thought leaders on global affairs, the economy, and business.
The Silk Speaker Series is designed to provide learning opportunities and discussions for USF’s students, alumni, faculty, and friends of the university.
The Silk Speaker Series is excited to welcome Academy Award-winning actress and producer, Nicole Kidman to the University of San Francisco in April.
This is your chance to hear her speak candidly about her career, creativity, activism, and the stories that have shaped her life—both on and off the screen. From her iconic roles in Moulin Rouge!, The Hours, Big Little Lies, and more recently Nine Perfect Strangers and BabyGirl, to her work as a global advocate for women’s rights. Nicole Kidman brings a powerful voice and perspective to the Hilltop.
