The annual fall leadership conference saw nearly 300 middle and high school students from the Crossroads area come to UHV to gain new leadership skills, develop project ideas and meet other student leaders on campus. Some of the schools represented came from Yorktown, Industrial, Edna, Goliad, Calhoun and Victoria.
