The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) and the Atlantic Council are welcoming the community to attend, on Monday, March 8, at 5 P.M. CST, the Hagel Forum in Global Leadership.
Tom Ridge, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and former Governor of Pennsylvania, will discuss the role of U.S. leadership in a changing world with UNO alumnus Chuck Hagel, former U.S. Secretary of Defense and former U.S. Senator from Nebraska.
The 2021 event is the third installment of the Chuck Hagel Forum in Global Leadership series. The series debuted at UNO in 2019 with a discussion on pressing global issues between Hagel and then-former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. The 2020 event featured former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who spoke to issues on climate change and technological innovation.
This year’s forum is hosted in partnership with the Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan organization that galvanizes U.S. leadership and engagement in the world, in partnership with allies and partners, to shape solutions to global challenges.
The event will feature opening remarks by Ridge followed by a discussion with Ridge and Hagel moderated by Michelle Black, Ph.D., an assistant professor of political science at UNO and a research fellow for the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI).
This event series explores critical issues with global leaders in search of solutions to today’s global challenges. The Chuck Hagel Forum in Global Leadership provides an opportunity to engage with Hagel and other global leaders, policymakers and thinkers.
This virtual event will premiere online at 5 P.M. CST, Monday, March 8, on the Chuck Hagel Forum in Global Leadership website and on Atlantic Council platforms.
