  4. John Kerry | 2020

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who served from 2013 to 2017, and former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, who served from 2013 to 2015, spoke to a sold-out crowd at the second annual Chuck Hagel Forum in Global Leadership, held in UNO's Strauss Performing Arts Center.

Hagel introduced Kerry as "a decorated Vietnam war veteran, prosecutor senator, and Secretary of State," adding that it was "not a bad résumé."

"I am particularly proud and privileged he would accept an invitation to speak here tonight," Hagel said. "I don't think there is anyone I've known and worked with over the years that embodies, understands global leadership like John Kerry does."
