UH Alumnus Honored by Jaycees

Judge Reece Rondon ('92, J.D. '95), of the 234th District Court of Harris County, was recently named by the Houston Jaycees as one of the Five Outstanding Young Houstonians for 2007. He was also selected as one of the Five Outstanding Young Texans by the Texas Jaycees. The awards are based on extraordinary achievements in community service, business, the arts, politics, and athletics. Rondon is very active throughout the Houston community and currently serves as a Houston Alumni Organization board member.

“I never imagined that giving something back to the community could lead to receiving an award; it just seemed like the ‘right’ thing to do,” Rondon said. “I’ve had the good fortune of having opportunities to serve and volunteer in various ways. Nevertheless, I am honored and humbled by being recognized by the Houston Jaycees as well as the Texas Jaycees.”
