Youngstown State University ASCE

Thank You!

The Youngstown State University ASCE was the proud host of the 2008 Ohio Valley Student Conference, which ran from April 3^rd through the 5^th. Everything at the conference would not have been possible without our volunteers, judges, and sponsors. The YSU ASCE extends its thanks to everyone that was involved in the 2008 OVSC, and we wish Western Kentucky University the best of luck in hosting the 2009 OVSC. Pictures from the conference can be viewed here. Feel free to send in your pictures so that we can upload them to the conference album.
