Keani DiBerardino, President
Speech Major, 4th year student
What do you like about being in SCS?Being in SCS has been a great experience.
Events in SCS allow for members, graduate students,
and faculty involvement which allows us to get to
know one another outside of the classroom. It makes
the university experience less intimidating and cre-
ates a strong social environment during our time at
UH. Not many departments in UH can say they have
the same family-like connection between faculty and
students.

Major and Speech Minor
What do you like about SCS?I enjoy being in SCS because it is fun and easy
to make friends; it is great for showing how unique the
Speech Department is and how accessible the profes-
sors are. It is also wonderful to see and be part of a
group who is not only service oriented but also socia-
ble.
Rhoda Zamora Castillo, Treasurer

Major and Speech Minor.What do you like about SCS?
What I like about SCS is that it is an organiza-
tion outside of my major that allows me to network
with other students of different majors, minors, and
also connects me with faculty outside of the class-
room. Ive noticed that SCS is one of few organiza-
tions at the university that helps students form closer
bonds with the department professors. With that said,
SCS has beneted me by providing me with opportu-
nities to meet new and different people, by helping meimprove my speech and communication skills, and by
enhancing my resume.

I love being a member of SCS. It is a great way

coffee shop, the library, or working on a boat taking
photos of tourist. I also am a photographer for Kaleo
O Hawaii. I am excited about this semester and hope
to met you and get acquainted. Lets make this semes-
ter fun!!

Fall 2010 has been an eventful semester. In

had the opportunity to socialize with students and
professors throughout various events.

got into friendly competition mode through the annual
Student vs. Faculty Bowling event.
Besides socializing activities, SCS members
focused on academics in October. On October 20th, a
Masters Degree info session was held in GRG 214.
Members also had an opportunity to learn about what
career elds a Bachelors Degree in Speech can get
into with Dr. Jayson Dibble.
November was a Service Learning and inter-
personal communication oriented month for SCS. On
November 20th, SCS worked with Project Hawaii to
fundraise money for homeless children in the commu-
nity. Finally, students dressed to impress for the excit-
ing and fast-paced setting of speed dating. Whether it
was for potential romance or just a networking oppor-
tunity the Speed Dating event on November 12 at the
Campus Center Dining Area was a riveting success.
Thank you to the members, faculty and graduate stu-
dents who helped make this fall very eventful. Great
Job everyone! We look forward to more fun events
next Spring. Have a safe winter break and Happy
Holidays!
