GCJD and SHSU president Dana Hoyt hosted a holiday reception in December for World Affairs Council members at the Woodlands campus. WAC just launched a chapter in the Woodlands, providing a great opportunity for SHSU to reach out to area business and community leaders. The event also allowed SHSU to showcase its Woodlands campus. WAC hosts speakers from around the world and organizes overseas trips for its members, who have a keen interest in world events. GCJD executive director Kelli Arena was able to tell guests about the work the GCJD is doing in the community and around the world. Hopefully, the outreach will lead to more awareness support from leaders in the Houston corridor.
