Past Presidents of California Alpha
Welcome to the TBP Past Presidents' Theme Page! This page is an archive of the themes and goals of past presidents of the California Alpha Chapter. It is intended to provide future presidents with insights to the history of our chapter, as well as guide them on the path to a stronger TBP. Here, you will learn about the hard work of many presidents and their very dedicated officer corp. You will also find out when certain "traditions" that you're so used to were started. The last thing I would like to mention is, our chapter would not be where it is right now without the help of the OFFICERS!!! Even though this page is about what the presidents' themes for their semester are, I would like to acknowledge the hard work of all the past officers of TBP for making our chapter the best it can be! I also hope that this will be beneficial to the new president's term! - Bernie L.
Please click on the presidents' pictures for a detailed summary of their term!

Nicholas Hwang (President Spring 2007)
Nick Hwang graduated in May 2007 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, as well as a minor in Mechanical Engineering. Also known as "Moogling," "Moogle Extraordinaire," "Soccer Mom," "Dick Wang" (say his name with your nose plugged) and "fuzzy", he now hails from the southern regions of the SF bay area in the suburbs of Santa Clara, and currently works at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Sunnyvale. He is now loving his more relaxing life and partaking in simple pleasures during his first time away from the comfort of his Orinda home. If you ever see a large white minivan at a TBP event, you'll know that this past president has just rolled your way!

Name: Jo Kay Chan Major: Bio E
Jo Kay is a 4th year Bioengineering major. She says she's from Santa Ana
(as in the winds or "the 5" freeway), but she's originally from Canada,
where 25% of the population suffers from mental disorders. Jo Kay strives
to be a part of the 75%. As if schoolwork and Tau Beta Pi weren't enough
to keep her busy, she tries to find time for hobbies--swing dancing,
random music, restaurant tasting, puzzles, etc. She is a recovering
coffee addict, and has developed a liking for Coke. - Last updated 10/99 |

He picked up photography as a hobby a few years ago and takes lots pictures (along with Mike M.). If you see a guy with a camera snapping photos at you, there's a large chance it'll be him.
