Joe Biden, the 47th Vice President of the United States, will join former Secretary of Defense and U.S. Senator for Nebraska Chuck Hagel to launch a new annual forum at Hagel’s alma mater, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO).

The event will be live streamed for the public at https://go.unl.edu/biden. The event is a free, student-focused ticketed event for UNO students. Livestreams will also be hosted at the Milo Bail Student Center, Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center, and Mammel Hall in Omaha.

The theme of the inaugural forum is “The Role of U.S. Leadership in a Changing World.” Vice President Biden will deliver opening remarks, then participate in a moderated discussion with Sec. Hagel, including questions from the audience.

The event is the first in a new series that will explore critical issues with global leaders in search of solutions to today’s global challenges. The Chuck Hagel Forum in Global Leadership will provide students with an opportunity to engage with Sec. Hagel and global leaders, policymakers and thinkers.
