Aloha PSWRC Participants,
            Congratulations to everyone that participated in this year’s Pacific South West Regional Conference 2009! Everyone competed very well this year and I was glad to see that many of the canoes made it here in one piece.
            Mahalo nui loa for allowing us to share our campus and our culture with all of you. It was an honor for the ASCE student chapter at UH Manoa to host the Pacific South West Regional conference 2009. We worked hard to make this regional conference an event to remember. We hope that you all had a great time and that this conference will stand out as a great memory for years to come.
A hui hou!

Mahalo,
Jessica Agsalda
ASCE, UH Manoa Student Chapter President
