While living in a fast paced society, it is rather difficult to tend to every single problem. Each day more and more people suffer from a number of disasters and human rights abuses ranging from discrimination to torture to poverty. Thus,with the  intent on spreading awareness about these areas of global concern, the Global Studies Academy of Clements High School will be holding a Global Issues Summit,  a conference taking place in the Clements High School Auditorium on April 20, 2013. Here, specific influential global affairs will be discussed and presented through first-hand accounts, organizational speakers, audiovisual documentaries, and performances.
