Hello Everyone,
Another exciting month for the Arizona Section has come and gone and I continue to be impressed with the dedication, commitment, and hard work our membership delivers. This past month ASU and NAU co-hosted the Pacific Southwest Conference (PSWC) on April 12th-14th at Arizona State University. The conference was attended by approximately 1,300 students representing 18 universities from California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii. I would like to extend my appreciation and congratulations to the hard working students from ASU and NAU who collaborated to put together an excellent event!
