The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) is encouraging science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) students at a community college or 4-year university, and graduate students pursuing a master’s or doctoral degree program to apply for scholarships.
Since 2021, more than 200+ scholarships have been awarded totaling over $1,000,000. The organization is dedicated to engaging decision-makers in academia, government, and industry to increase the number of Hispanic, Latino, and Latinx students and professionals in STEM.
In addition, SHPE National has extended an invitation to hear a panel of professionals discuss the foundations of successful mentoring on April 26. The panel will discuss listening, trust, and goal setting. Click here to register.
In related news, Dr. Jose Silva, SHPE’s new Chief Engagement Officer, was recently recognized with The Outstanding Leadership Award for his contributions to the fields of education and learning.
Joseph “Jose” Silva has been an advocate for youth, education, and the community for over 28 years. He comes to SHPE from the Colorado Association for Infant Mental Health where, starting in 2019, he served as their first chief executive officer (CEO).
A specialty of Dr. Silva’s professional and personal approach to community engagement is his orientation to multiculturalism—the embracing and celebrating of individual differences.
CEO Chris Wilkie said about Dr. Silva, “His extensive experience and his attitude toward diversity make him particularly well-suited to take on the Chief Engagement Officer role with its emphasis on member relations. SHPE is lucky to have his leadership and expertise on staff.”
According to the website, SHPE has more than 13,000 student and professional members, who work to change lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and to impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support, and development.
