What was one of the biggest accomplishments of the GUAA during the 2014 fiscal year? We wanted to take our Georgetown events to other parts of the world where we have strong alumni populations. We selected Doha, Qatar for our International Leaders Weekend as we have a School of Foreign Service there with the first alumni ready to celebrate their five-year reunion.
