Clooney has longed worked at raising awarness about the struggles of Sudan, even producing a movie about the conflict. He is currently pushing a campaign to inform people about an upcoming referundum vote about whether the country should be split into two sovereign states.
Clooney and Prendergast will speak at 7 p.m. in the Cubberley Auditorium, 485 Lasuen Mall.
