Former Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and John Kerry will speak at a forum at Notre Dame's DeBartolo Performing Arts Center on March 19.

The forum, "Finding Common Ground on America's Role in the World" will be held at the Leighton Concert Hall from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

The forum will be moderated by Howard LaFranchi, diplomacy correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor.

“We look forward to a fascinating and productive conversation between Secretaries Rice and Kerry, two experienced leaders in American foreign policy,” said Christina Wolbrecht, professor of political science and director of the Rooney Center. “The Rooney Center and our partners are delighted to bring this unique and exciting dialogue to Notre Dame to educate and inform the campus community, as well as contribute to pressing national policy debates.”

The event is free and open to the public but requires ticket reservations.

Tickets will be available starting Feb. 19 at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
