Community Outreach
Our chapter organizes various events throughout the year that involve working with children in elementary school to college students. Our programs are designed to teach young people about the different opportunities available to them in engineering and technology and provide them access to Hispanic role models working in these industries. Our members are extremely passionate and committed to organizing and participating in these events. If you are also interested in being a part of these events, please see the Contact Us tab at the top of this page. We are always looking for new volunteers!
Professional Development
There are professional development opportunities that are provided to help our members grow and develop new skills. We hold leadership retreats, attend SHPE conferences in which professionals from all over the country gather to share best practices, and work with the University of Washington SHPE Student Chapter to help them transition to the business world. We also provide leadership opportunities for our members to lead the organization of events within the chapter, which will help to gain planning and communication skills. We recognize these leadership achievements at our end of the year SHPE Banquet.
Networking
Our chapter understands the value of networking to meet new people in our community. We often partner with other Hispanic organizations in the Puget Sound to sponsor fun events such as entertainment and food at Jillian's and BBQ's, which open the doors to new introductions. We also organize socials within our SHPE chapter so that our members can also get to know each other and form life-long relationships.
