Students gathered in the UNO auditorium awaiting to see Chuck Hagel. The main focus of the symposium was to put a spotlight on public service. “I think for students who are interested in politics, it is a good introduction to the importance of public service and how students should get involved early in their lives.” Watson said. “Public service is important to the preservation of our democracy especially during our polarized society today.”
