Kaneshige served as vice president from 2012–2015 and as president from 2015–2017. She has guided the chapter to build stronger relationships with the student ambassador program, the student nurses association and the school. The chapter continues to host networking events and has continued their annual scholarship fundraiser event.
This June, Kaneshige will end her term as president. UH Mānoa Nursing, the chapter’s board of directors, alumni and students, thank Kaneshige for her indelible contributions and presented her with a recognition award at the event.
