From Alisha Sinha:

My club, Women In STEM, has partnered with multiple clubs to invite experts and learn about the various challenges we face today and how we can participate in improving our future. The event is called Foothill Global Summit 2023 and with the theme of "Becoming Global Citizen," we will tackle many important issues such as global poverty, education, gender equality, climate change, and immigration. We anticipate that the relationships built on March 17th will continue and bear more fruits with further involvement from the students.

Here is the outline of the event.

We will be grateful if you can promote this event and if possible, offer extra credits for participating students.
