What do you do after being vice president? If you're Joe Biden, you go back to school.

The University of Pennsylvania said Biden will be a professor at the Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the Ivy League school.

The new education initiative bearing his name will focus on teaching foreign policy and diplomacy.

Biden said he hopes the center can "impact the national debate about how America can continue to lead in the 21st Century."

The former veep will also chair the Biden Institute at his alma mater, the University of Delaware. It will focus on some of Biden's favored domestic policies, like the environment, women's rights and criminal justice.

Biden said he was happy to continue the work he did in the White House, but he probably wasn't as happy as Barack Obama. The former president went kitesurfing when his term was up.
