SOCIETY OF HISPANIC PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS

About SHPE

This will be SHPE UMN’s sixteen year at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities since being re-established in the fall of 2009. SHPE UMN hosted an RLDC during the first year it was active as well as spring 2019.  We have continued to be involved with our college by hosting a Student Organization Fair every semester since 2009. This allowed for other student groups get exposure to our organization and encourage collaboration on future event together. We have received the award for “Outstanding Community Involvement” for our student organization fair from the College of Science and Engineering and the "Blue Chip Award" from SHPE Region 6. We partner on many workshops with other groups such as NSBE, NSSA, SASE, SWE, and Mi Gente. In the past few years, local professional chapters were established in the Twin Cities and have reached out to us. We have partnered with them on events such as Noche de Ciencias and a student science fair for high school Hispanic students in the area.
