Those wishing to watch his remarks live are welcome to go to auxiliary viewing locations with large screen monitors at South Gym in Rec Hall, the HUB-Robeson Center and Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library. Tickets will not be required at these locations.
In addition, the speech will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network beginning at noon Eastern time on Thursday, Feb. 3.
The president's remarks are expected to focus on the importance of investing in innovation and clean energy for the nation's future and to create jobs and grow the economy.
