Meet John

Hailing from Glen Rose, Texas, John Hague is an earnest second-year scholar at Vanderbilt University, majoring in both Law, History, and Society and Classics. His foray into the realm of education and its intrinsic values began with a modest yet pivotal role at a nonprofit, dedicated to bequeathing educational resources to children in underprivileged rural communities. As he expanded his horizon, working with various esteemed organizations and delving deeper into his academic pursuits, John’s reverence for education blossomed. It’s not accompanied by an unwavering commitment to widen the gates of educational opportunities.

At GEC, John masterfully helms the organizations Facebook presence, coupling it with crafting impactful educational media that resonates with GEC’s ethos.

John is steadfast in his belief that education, while transformative, often finds itself shadowed in tumultuous times. While many rush to address immediate post-disaster needs, the more subtle yet equally imperative aspect of education remains unattended. John contends that a holistic education approach, one that intertwines foundational knowledge with tenets of diplomacy, ethics, and tolerance, can indeed be the harbinger of peace, breaking entrenched cycles of conflict.
