Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will speak today at the dedication ceremony for the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center.

Joe Biden, the former two-term vice president who headed a national Cancer Moonshot Task Force, will serve as keynote speaker at today’s ribbon cutting and dedication of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center.

The event is ticket-only, and no tickets remain available. But the UNMC community will have several opportunities to view the dedication and ribbon-cutting. They include:

  • several viewing screens beneath the vehicle drop-off, on the west side of the Buffett Cancer Center;
  • a livestream in the Durham Research Center Auditorium;
  • desktops or mobile devices, as the event is being livestreamed. (optional link if first link doesn’t work)

The event will begin at 2 p.m. today and should conclude around 3:15 p.m. Tours of the facility will be available to employees, faculty and students beginning about 30 minutes following the event. The livestream (optional link if first link doesn’t work) of the ceremony will begin a half hour before the event. If you experience technical difficulties, call 402-559-8090.

There will be an open house for the public to tour the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center on Saturday, May 27, from 9 a.m. to noon.
