International Career Day
After the welcome by Jennifer Bowden, Executive Director of the International Education Program, students heard about international protocol, teaching abroad, international degree programs, media, and internships.
Students chose and attended five break-out sessions with industry experts throughout the day. These included topics such as business, military and defense, intelligence, diplomacy, human rights, journalism, law, and engineering.
During the lunch hour, informational booths were set out to provide additional information and resources for students who wanted specific advice and information about areas of interest. Vendors present included Homeland Security, the Army ROTC, the Texas National Guard, the International Red Cross, People to People, Human Rights Initiative, Engineers Without Borders, Volunteer Center of North Texas, and UTA Study Abroad.
Feedback from our members was overwhelmingly positive. Students came back to school and shared that, for the first time, they felt as if they had a concrete idea for their future and for career options. Even more importantly, they came away a sense of camaraderie and with the true meaning of JWAC!

Welcome to our group newsletter. I am excited to have this opportunity to sponsor this group. I think it was meant to be. Seriously.
I first heard about JWAC during the summer of 2013 when I attended the world Affairs Council Global Classrooms Workshop in Richardson. I was amazed by all the resources shared during those three days. They could have easily stretched those sessions into an entire week and we still would not have covered all the topics and materials we received. Obviously, learning about this group was a major part of my time there.
I then learned that Mr. Morrow, our principal, was once a JWAC sponsor too. He raved about the benefits of the group and how much fun his students had. He encouraged forming a group here at CHS and I thought it was an opportunity I could not pass up.
Inspiring our youth to embrace diversity and become more globally aware is one of my passions. I hope that I can instill the importance of leadership, cultural awareness, and the desire to change the world in all student members of our JWAC. I'm excited for the year to come.
