Hey Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I have not forgotten about this thread, but conference planning in Hawaii has kept me plenty busy these last couple of weeks! I've had a couple of people email me about their interest, so please do email me if you are interested in a specific position, or if you just want to help out doing anything in general. I'll be keeping a list of interested parties.

Thanks again for your interest! This summer and next year are going to be very busy for the UNLV ASCE Student Chapter and we need as much help as we can get.

Thanks!

Dee
