The name is Jesse Keone Potter. I was born in Mountain View just outside of Hilo, grew up on the North and West side of the island, and am loving my time here at UH Hilo. I am a Communications major. Becoming the Vice President is a new experience for me, and I am very excited to working for the betterment of our university and the Big Island community as a whole. And if not working or going to school, I'm either playing my guitar, bodyboarding, skateboarding around town, or anything else that gets me going and keeps me centered. Aloha

I'm Janelle Williams and I am on my fourth year at UH Hilo. I am double majoring in political science and environmental studies and I hope to work on natural resource and environmental management in the future. As Treasurer of UHHSA I plan to help our campus be more environmentally, politically, and culturally aware. In addition to this position and my classes I am also working as a conservation research intern. I'm a pretty busy person but I try to stay balanced by getting out to surf, hike, bike, swim, and garden. Aloha.

Data Director: Kelson Ho’omano Pakele
Aloha ei body!! I’m a Communication Major and I'm actually done with all of my credits to graduate as of Fall 2007. Then why am I stickin' around? Being a part of student government I've found out that there is a lot more power in this position than given credit for. I've decided to run for at least one more year and work with the UH Student Caucus again, and also work with our UH Legislature Committee again. There is so much that can be done being a part of student governement and I intend to do just that. Also, I like to play video games, jam on the ukulele and play some basketball whenever I can find a chill pick up game. Aloha!

I'm an athlete for UH Hilo's Men's Soccer team. I'm a marine science major. I enjoy outdoor stuff; camping, surfing, and I'm just pretty outgoing. I'm also very personable. Please don't hesitate to approach me, even though my picture is kinda scary. I don't have a beard anymore either, so that's kinda important.
