CORAL GABLES (CBSMiami) -It is great being here at the U, Hillary Clinton said with a smile, making a U gesture with her hands as she took the stage at the University of Miamis Bank United Center Wednesday night.

Right away, she mentioned the Arizona Governors veto of anti-gay legislation.

Thankfully, the Governor of Arizona has vetoed the discriminatory legislation that was passed, recognizing that inclusive leadership is really what the 21st century is all about, said Mrs. Clinton.

Then Mrs. Clinton went on to talk about Venezuela as U.M. President Donna Shalala reminded her old friend and guest that many in the audience were from South America.

We must be more involved in the Americas, she said, calling for positive and peaceful change, in Venezuela. It is a country that is not being well governed. Its a democracy, no one would argue that it isnt, but a democracy doesnt just mean an election, said Mrs. Clinton. A democracy means a free press, protecting the rights of opponents, protecting a free economy, and having an independent judiciary.

Mrs. Clinton also touched on Syria, the Affordable Health Care Act, and renewable energy before getting the question the entire nation is asking. While a new CBS News/New York Times Poll shows more than 80-percent of Democrats say they want her to run in 2016, Mrs. Clinton politely side stepped an answer.

The question, posed by U.M. President Donna Shalala, was couched on Mrs. Clintons Twitter Bio, which lists every position she has ever held, saying her next job is TBD, or too be determined.

Can you give us some insight into how the TBD in your Bio will play out, Shalala asked. The crowd burst into applause, as Mrs. Clinton grinned and weighed her words.

Hillary Rodham Clinton will offer a keynote address this summer in Broomfield an event that comes in the same month the Clinton Global Initiative will hold its America meeting in Denver.

According to a post on Altitude tickets, Clinton will speak on June 2 at 8 p.m. at the 1stBank Center. Ticket prices span from $50 to $200.

Additional details were not available.

Since leaving her post as Secretary of State under the Obama administration in 2013, Clinton has held several speaking engagements at universities and conventions for groups like the American Society of Travel Agents and the National Association of Realtors.

Clinton is widely believed to be a 2016 presidential candidate.

In a recent Colorado Quinnipiac poll, Clinton trails possible Republican presidential candidates like Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin in hypothetical match-ups.

Denver will host the Clinton Global Initiative America both this June and in 2015, attracting the country's top thinkers and famous faces in business, government and philanthropy.

Clinton speaks at University of Miami, sidestepping questions about possible bid

MIAMI Hillary Clinton, the once and current Democratic front-runner for president, spoke Wednesday at the University of Miami, in an appearance where she touched on the chaos in Venezuela, climate change and the traps of partisanship.

One topic she conspicuously avoided: whether she'll officially run for president in 2016.

When asked about her future plans - noted in her Twitter bio as "TBD," or to be determined - Clinton slipped the question.

"Well, I'd really like to. But I have no characters left," Clinton said with a laugh, referencing the 140-character limits of Twitter.

"I will certainly ponder that."

But earlier, in addressing the 6,000 or so students and guests, Clinton might have given a hint about her future plans.

"No one can or should sit on the sidelines," said Clinton, who also noted the need to "get beyond the partisanship ... beyond all the political dead ends and decide that that's just not who we are."

As with a September speech Clinton gave in Miami, her appearance was highly stage-managed and had trappings of a campaign event. There were no questions from, or nearness to, the press.

The main difference between Clinton's address at the BankUnited Center and those given at the venue by President Barack Obama in the 2012 election cycle: Clinton stayed for a question-and-answer session.

The questions from students were pre-screened and asked by UM President Donna Shalala, who worked in Bill Clinton's administration as health secretary. Shalala called Clinton her "friend and colleague in too many adventures to count."
