Drexel University is hosting a conference on Global Challenges: Water. This is an all day event held in Behrakis Hall Grand Hall, Creese Student Center, 32nd and Chestnut Street. The event’s description says:
Water is the source of life. Without clean water people get sick, children miss school, and the cycle of poverty is perpetuated. Millions die prematurely from water-related diseases. As water scarcity becomes more acute, the global water crisis could lead to violent conflicts. The complexity and gravity of this issue makes it a major challenge facing humanity. Let us take a look at this serious challenge from all perspectives – social, economic, scientific, political as well as cultural.
The DFS encourages its members attend this event. Understanding the social, political, and scientific challenges that humanity faces in the world today is essential for being an informed citizen and intelligently addressing our biggest issues. If you wish to attend, you must register here before attending the event.
