Inaugural Event

In his first official visit to UNO, Vice President Joe Biden helped launch a successful start to the new Chuck Hagel Forum in Global Leadership before a capacity crowd at UNO's Strauss Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019.

Biden, who served as the 47th Vice President under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2016 and as a United States Senator from Delaware for 36 years, provided prepared remarks to more than 300 forum attendees.

His message to the students in attendance? Engagement with the rest of the world is vital to the success of the next generation of leaders.
